Emeric Cheseaux’s solo show traces his departure from a small village to the big city through a series of empathetic and comic character portraits. Using voice, mimicry and a few harvest crates as his only props, he reclaims the dialect and gestures of his origins to reconcile heritage with identity. The performance blends heartfelt nostalgia, sharp comedy and intimate family scenes to explore rural life, belonging and the singular experience of being different.

Swiss saxophonist Christoph Irniger and pianist Marc Perrenoud form a radiant, intimate duo that blends improvisational energy with technical brilliance.

Told as a solo performance, this piece follows a woman as she remembers the films that shaped her life and blurs the line between cinema and memory. Through references to science-fiction sagas and cinematic archetypes — the woman-soldier, the survivor, the reluctant mother — the show probes identity, fear of change and the ways stories migrate from screen to skin. Sparse staging and intimate narration create a haunting, introspective atmosphere.
