The Grand Théâtre invites you to the MAH for Apéropéra, a convivial event blending music, humor, and conversation over an urban aperitif.

Collision(s) is a poetic and introspective theatre piece born from the encounter between playwright Catherine Tinivella-Aeschimann and particle physicist Yasmine Amhis (CNRS/CERN). Through a fragmented narrative combining intimate storytelling, to-do lists, scientific inventories and personal reflections, the play follows a young physicist struggling to balance a demanding scientific career with motherhood, while subtly addressing gender equality in STEM fields. This CERN and Château Rouge co-production gently reminds us that behind every scientific breakthrough lies a deeply human story—one that theatre is uniquely equipped to tell.

In a Swiss adaptation of Georg Büchner’s novella “Lenz,” this musical ceremony delves into themes of loss and mourning. Three musicians pay tribute to the character Lenz, set against a backdrop reminiscent of mountains and an inner void. Blending the Alpine horn, folklore, and Fauré’s Requiem with Büchner’s words, the event explores madness, brotherhood, and hope. Through inner landscapes and traditional sounds, the celebration gently illuminates human fragility.

Created by Aurélie Hubeau and Lucie Hanoy, L’IMPOSTURE is a comic and poetic exploration of doubt, self-image and belonging. The piece follows a woman who describes herself as too small, obese, ugly and a tomboy, and recounts how she forged an identity in today’s world. Using objects, clothing and puppets manipulated with inventive choreography, the performance weaves humor, poetry and music — from Patrick Bruel to gospel and karaoke — to celebrate difference and question social norms, delivering warmth and poignancy.

FURTHER AFIELD

Directed by Nathalie Béasse, Le bruit des arbres qui tombent is a poetic stage piece where nature reasserts itself and motion becomes metamorphosis. Four characters’ stories intertwine in a sequence of vividly imagined tableaux that shift the everyday into the extraordinary. Between melancholy and grace, the production blends striking visual composition, touches of absurd humour and sudden joys, probing intimacy, family ties and social constraints through a sensitive, inventive theatrical language.
