Directed and performed by Eve Aouizerate, Amours subversives stages a wry, intimate interrogation of gender and desire. With performers Mathilde Lyon and Dylan Poletti, the piece pivots on a provocative premise — a young woman’s decision to abandon a nascent career for the tradwife ideal — and unfolds as a personal theatrical essay on power, intimacy and the contradictions of femininity in 2026. Sparse staging and candid narration create a fierce, tender atmosphere.

25 – 27 September

Festival d’automne presents a programme of intimate organ and ensemble concerts exploring timbre, ritual and storytelling. Highlights include the electro-acoustic duo “Tuyaux et ondes” with Jacques Tchamkerten (ondes Martenot) and Vincent Thévenaz (organ), a narrated Mexican legend featuring Zeltzin Pérez and Diego Galicia Suárez, and a musical portrait celebrating Lionel Rogg with Anne Page, David Titterington, Alessio Corti and the choir Cantus Laetus led by Natacha Casagrande. The series favours reflective atmospheres and virtuosic instrumental colour.

Sunday 27 September, 17:00

Performed by the Arkhè Quintet — Edouard Liechti, Nicolas Jéquier, Patrick Leyvraz, Arthur Guignard and Pascal Desarzens — this programme gathers musicians from French-speaking Switzerland who have collaborated for two decades. As a quintet they bring Schubert’s String Quintet to life with attentive ensemble playing, revealing lush textures, resonant low strings and luminous melodic lines. The performance privileges attentive listening, intimate dynamics and slow-burn emotional intensity, where close interplay and delicate phrasing unfold a spacious, deeply human sound world.

24 September – 4 October

Le Truc sur le feu is a playful, offbeat fable that examines how the domestication of fire shaped human life. Written by Romane Nicolas, the piece stages two Paleolithic clans who wonder, clash and ignite as puppets by the Kokoschka tradition bring grotesque situations to life. With incisive humour and sharp theatricality, the show confronts ideas of progress, individuality versus community, animality and civilisation, offering a vividly staged reflection on the choices that set societies alight.

15 September – 11 October

A darkly comic solo play about obsession and domestic chaos. When Michel finds a rare record he has long sought, he prepares a perfect hour to listen — but family, neighbours and a drip that will wreck the disc steadily intrude. The piece skewers selfishness with sharp humour and precise staging, combining intimate realism and heightened farce to probe human smallness and the desperate desire for solitude.
