FURTHER AFIELD
An exceptional evening of chamber music brings together two world-renowned musicians, pianist Martha Argerich and violinist Renaud Capuçon. The programme features three masterpieces by Debussy, Schumann and Beethoven, celebrating the artistry, virtuosity and musical chemistry of two outstanding performers.
At the crossroads of theatre, mixed reality and technological installation, this immersive performance invites audiences to test the machine built by a scientist to tackle existential problems. Wearing mixed-reality headsets, spectators collectively explore the chaotic inner world of a person trapped by indecision. The experience moves between human vulnerability and artificial intelligence, until the machine itself begins to falter in the face of what it cannot fully understand.
British‑Portuguese singer-songwriter Nessi Gomes and Barcelona‑based Mike Rauss present an evening of intimate, genre-blending song. Gomes weaves traditional Portuguese fado’s emotional depth with a contemporary British sensibility, producing haunting, lushly textured soundscapes and medicine‑singer mysticism; her acclaimed album Diamonds & Demons foregrounds this quiet intensity. Mike Rauss offers playful yet profound troubadour songs where funk, folk, oriental motifs and flamenco guitar meet a warm, grooving voice. Together they create an atmosphere of ritual, longing and raw presence.
For its 500th anniversary, the Grand Council is transforming this seat of power in the Old Town into a stage open to the public. Heritage becomes the medium for a narrative that connects the city’s past to its present. Through a visual and sound-based creation, this event offers a new way to discover the history of Geneva’s institutions.
Two short plays by Anton Chekhov staged by Tibor Ockenfels and Flavie Tapparel, presented as compact dramatic machines where romantic comedy masks escalating confrontations between desire, affection and material interest. Performances rely on precise physical timing, terse exchanges and a lean, playful design to reveal the simmering violence behind courtship rituals. The three actors — Estelle Bridet, Matteo Prandi and Raphaël Vachoux — inhabit heightened character types that shift between farce and darker comic truth, creating a sharply observed, kinetic evening.

Blending choral singing with the refined austerity of nō theatre, this performance follows a man on an inner journey through solitude and the longing for unity. The presence of Masato Matsuura lends the staging a striking ritual intensity, while the voices of the Aedes ensemble open a wide musical landscape. Schubert, Tormis, Seppar, Dumont, Schnittke and Hersant weave together a score of contrasts, from lyric grace to tension and transcendence.
French Subtitles. Kids ages 12 and up
Directed by Brigitte Rosset, this intimate comedy follows Lucie, a celebrated playwright trapped by silence, and Thomas, her eccentric new neighbour whose clumsy misadventures rekindle her imagination. Performed by Mauro Bellucci and Camille Figuereo, the staging plays with the boundaries between fiction and reality, mixing subtle humour, melancholic moments and theatrical invention. The production honours the original text by Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patellière.
