Under the baton of Jean-Christophe Monnier, the Orchestre d’harmonie de l’État de Genève (OHGe) presents a programme of French repertoire spanning lyrical charm and dramatic sweep. Cellist Lionel Cottet features as solo voice amidst lush wind textures, shifting between filigreed melodies and bold, cinematic gestures. From Delibes’ grace to Honegger’s modern intensity, Saint-Saëns and Berlioz’s orchestral colour, and Legrand’s evocative filmic idiom, the evening explores timbre, momentum and expressive contrasts that move from intimate lyricism to radiant climaxes.
Craquage, the second solo show by French comedian and writer Marion Mezadorian, presents a vibrant gallery of everyday characters — sixteen in total — each facing a silent personal crisis. From a weary mother to a local bartender or hairdresser, they all eventually break down and open up, sparking both laughter and emotion.
Through their loud, heartfelt confessions, Mezadorian gives voice to the unspoken, turning trauma into comedy with warmth and perspective. Her infectious energy and charisma bring these very human moments to life, making Craquage a moving, funny, and unmissable gem.
