Grégoire Maret & Friends

Booking Required

Geneva-born harmonica virtuoso Grégoire Maret leads an intimate jazz programme that reframes the harmonica as a lyrical, improvisatory voice. Winner of multiple Grammy Awards, Maret draws on collaborations with Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, Sting and Marcus Miller to shape a sound marked by melodic warmth and harmonic subtlety. Accompanied by a tight ensemble of friends, the performance balances delicate nuance and spontaneous interplay, where breath, timbre and silence create a contemplative yet visceral listening experience.

Step into a warm, woven world of stories imagined by Barbara Sauser, creator of the tricot‑contes. Tales are spun with the strength of thread, the warmth of wool and the softness of silk.

Through vivid voices and sensory storytelling, young audiences explore feelings, dreams and growing up.

In French. Kids ages 6 and up.

22 September – 4 October

Directed by Nathalie Cuenet and written by Valérie Poirier, Dire adieu is performed by Compagnie Volodia. The piece stages fragmented conversations between a daughter and her mother, probing a quest for recognition and the fragile possibility of reconciliation. Its form recalls the codes of Greek tragedy, using heightened language and concentrated staging to explore memory, silence and unresolved grief. The ensemble creates a tense, intimate atmosphere that makes emotional rupture palpable.

In French.

29 September – 18 October

Directed by Céline Goormaghtigh and written by Anne Berest, LA VISITE probes maternal instinct with sharp humour and urgent intensity. In a compact domestic setting, a young mother at the limits of endurance confronts visitors while her defenses dissolve; a trio of actresses whirl and collide, delivering a caustic torrent of language and revealing movement. The work explores ‘matraissance’—the birth of motherhood—balancing lucidity, rage and tenderness to unsettle familiar myths about maternal bliss.

The evening also features a specially curated DJ set by Passage de Disques (Bamba Triste and Fuxy Lady), weaving experimental grooves that complement the live assault and expand the night’s sonic palette.

27 August – 18 October

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.
