Actor and singer Lambert Wilson channels Kurt Weill’s music in an intense, elegant recital. Accompanied by the Lemanic Modern Ensemble, he revives selections from The Threepenny Opera, The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny, Lady in the Dark and other stage works, moving between Berlin cabaret textures, jubilant jazz and theatrical declamation. The performance relies on close ensemble interplay and expressive phrasing to probe themes of urban decadence, irony and longing.

Returning for its twentieth edition, Les Aubes brings softness and poetry to Geneva mornings. At dawn, intimate musical encounters offer delicate soundscapes that stir the senses, favouring close listening and subtle atmospheres.

A gentle celebration of morning listening and communal presence.
Ta Ka Dim is an intercultural musical project that connects the spiritual depth of Hindustani classical music with the expressive intensity of flamenco guitar. Vocalist She Rose (Namrata), trained in the ancient Dhrupad tradition, shapes sound through breath, resonance and sustained tone. Sound engineer and guitarist Yann Sauvin contributes flamenco nuance and real-time sonic sculpting. The programme unfolds through improvisation and close dialogue, creating a meditative, luminous atmosphere that bridges ritual, travel and oral transmission.
Directed by Louis Bonard, Les Voüéces follows two reclusive women, Rodogonde and Frénéjus, who live atop a high tower. Louis Bonard and Michèle Gurtner wrote and perform a piece in an enchanted pseudo‑medieval tongue where voice, embroidery and play weave a poetic fable. The performance probes silence, the passage of time, guilt and the unsettling presence of other voices — ghostly, culpable or absurd — with a blend of darkness and dark humour.

Two unexpected deities arrive by bicycle, guided by a capricious GPS, carrying a very serious object: the Wheel of Fortune. They need the audience—especially children—to spin the wheel and together invent a story about a child to whom nothing seems to go right. Misfortunes pile up, luck sticks to the sneakers and solutions must be imagined. A participatory musical tale where chance and imagination shape a different story each time.
In French. Kids ages 5 and up.
Operation Transat’s Le Grand Village transforms public space into a nomadic, poetic microcosm. The itinerant theatre company sets up tents, caravans and open-air spaces where artists, residents and passers-by meet through a varied programme of short plays, object theatre, puppetry, circus, concerts, readings and workshops. Intimate and communal, the installation invites close encounters, spontaneous discoveries and participatory moments, offering playful, moving and theatrical experiences for audiences of all ages.
HENGE deliver a space-rock spectacle that blends rave energy and progressive-rock textures. Since arriving seven years ago the band has earned acclaim — two albums, extensive touring and a Best Live Act award — and their performances feel at once exuberant and slightly uncanny. Propulsive rhythms, swirling textures and playful theatricality create an immersive, joyous atmosphere that oscillates between subversion and warmth, broadcasting a message of hope that leaves audiences amused and exhilarated.
