Léman Bouquet Festival

Conceived and directed by Ágnes Havas, this itinerant festival combines cycle-tourism with a rich musical programme. Concerts range from classical and baroque to opera and jazz, presented across lakeside stages that dialogue with the landscape. The project foregrounds sustainable cyclo-tourism and cross-border artistic cooperation, pairing performances with local gastronomy. Lighting and acoustic choices favour intimacy and clarity, while artists of international calibre create moments of contemplative lyricism, conviviality and sensory immersion around the rhythms of the lake.

29 May – 7 June

More than simple program announcements, these events are true theatrical “green flashes” — moments of celebration linking the end of one season to the start of the next. For this final edition (note the “s” in “presentation(s)”), director Jean Liermier and a constellation of surprise guests will present a lively retrospective: a collage of excerpts, images, sounds, and behind-the-scenes stories collected over eighteen years (2008–2026). The audience is invited on a playful and spectacular journey into the creative heart of the theatre, to relive its highlights, secrets, and emotions — each evening, of course, concluding with a vibrant round of applause.

In French.

Led by the trio La Nouvelle Saison, this intimate apéro-concert blends English pop-folk ballads with songs in French and Italian. Stéphanie Palazzo’s luminous voice and piano intertwine with Alex Lodo’s guitar and Giacomo Grandi’s cello, creating warm, travel-tinged textures. The performance favors close listening and gentle dynamics, moving from delicate simplicity to rich, resonant swells. Its atmosphere is convivial and reflective, inviting shared moments and subtle emotional shifts.

5 – 6 June

Nina Azoulai delivers a funny, liberating solo show that explores the paths others plan for us and the routes we finally take. With sharp observational humour and candid storytelling, she revisits a life shaped by expectations — a steady job, a reliable partner, children — and the awkward, tender moments that followed when she chose differently. The piece blends intimate confession, precise comic timing and warm audience rapport to examine identity, family and reinvention.

In French.
