Genth’orgue 3 presents a varied festival exploring the organ in all its guises. Programs range from organ paired with Ondes Martenot (with Vincent Thévenaz and Jacques Tchamkerten), to a cine-concert accompaniment for Buster Keaton curated by Nathalie Effenberger, a recital titled “La scène aux femmes!” (Elisabeth Hubmann), and the theatrical spectacle‑concert “Le banquet des rois” for medieval ensemble, organ, choir and narrators. The emphasis is on timbral contrasts and ritual drama.
Choreographed by Thomas Hauert and performed by three dancers from ZOO and three from Platform K, Where Is Everybody? explores a shared, non-hierarchical stage language rooted in improvisation and mutual gaze. The piece invites performers and spectators to dance, look and reposition themselves through moments of unpredictability, creativity and embodied presence. Sparse staging and responsive interactions foreground the living immediacy of movement, producing an atmosphere at once intimate, playful and searching.
Scène Vagabonde’s seventh edition brings a compact program of contemporary theatre and music, presenting three contrasting stage works — “Par le bout du nez”, “Quadrille” and “Prima facie” — alongside a concert by Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp as part of La Bâtie-Festival de Genève. Across intimate stagings the festival favors inventive direction, close ensemble interplay and a balance of wit and intensity, offering encounters that privilege physical presence, tonal variety and rigorous dramaturgy.
After their grandmother’s death, three sisters, separated by life and years, meet in the attic of the family home. The house—large and dusty, with creaking floorboards and faded wallpaper—becomes a stage for recollection. The story follows Luce, Emmanuelle and Emée, with Denise present in the background; objects, yellowed photographs and the smell of old books trigger memories. Performed by Cécile Adèle Basset, Alice Berlamont and Victoria Duquesne, the piece explores memory, loss and the intimate archaeology of domestic life.
