Les petites variations

“Les petites variations,” presented by Théâtre l’Articule, is a heartfelt exploration of intergenerational connections through two short forms mixing movement and objects. The first piece captures the spirit of travel using postcards and an aerial hoop, while the second takes us on a journey in a small car filled with childhood memories. Fatna Djahra and her team lovingly celebrate the legacy of elders and family memories.

Founded in 2009 by Fatna Djahra, the company carefully crafts performances for young audiences, ensuring they are respected as spectators. Collaborations include theaters in Geneva, Paris, and Normandy, with support from the Republic and Canton of Geneva, and the cities of Geneva and Lancy.

Kids ages 3 and up.

Little hands experiment with texture, color and movement as shadows shift and paper creaks, turning simple marks into ghostly friends.
