Théâtre Spirale presents “Memory of Fire” by Eduardo Galeano at La Parfumerie, a poetic and thought-provoking performance inspired by Latin American history. This show amplifies the voices of the voiceless through myths, legends, historical events, and stories. Directed by Patrick Mohr, the production weaves together text, music, and visuals, featuring a collaboration with versatile artists. On Fridays, the program is enhanced with Cuban music concerts.
Written by Elisa Shua Dusapin and directed by Ludovic Chazaud, Le vieil incendie delicately explores the fragile bond between two sisters separated by time, silence, and absence. Fifteen years after their estrangement, they reunite in the family home destined for demolition, where childhood memories and buried wounds resurface. Blending words, gestures, and silence, this poetic and sensory play reveals what still connects us — to loved ones, to places, and to shared memory.

Choreographer Soa Ratsifandrihana brings together four performers with diasporic roots to explore themes of identity, connection, and individuality through dance and song. Titled Fampitaha, fampita, fampitàna (Malagasy for comparison, transmission, rivalry), the piece celebrates shared cultural expression. It is accompanied by the podcast Rouge cratère, a personal and political reflection on Madagascar, colonization, and the embodied experience of diaspora.
Trois mecs au bol is a surreal, offbeat creation by Lorin Kopp, Steven Matthews, and Mirko Verdesca, who also perform on stage. Blending absurd humour, music, and a touch of the grotesque, the show questions what it means to grow up in a world where absurdity has become the new normal. Written “à plat tôt” by three clowns unaware of their own kinship, it’s a three-voiced chant to tame their demons – and perhaps yours, the one that slowly creeps in and gnaws from the inside.

An evening centered on the theme of adulterous love awaits you at the Foyer of the Grand Théâtre de Genève. Experience selections from Debussy’s “Pelléas et Mélisande,” alongside more lighthearted pieces by Offenbach and Poulenc, performed by soprano Charlotte Bozzi, tenor Jean Miannay, bass Mark Kurmanbayev, and pianist Xavier Dami. This is a musical and poetic exploration of infidelity, rich with emotion and humor.
The Ensemble Les Illuminations continues its commitment to contemporary women composers with their concert Vera Vita Viva. Featuring a new work by Claire-Mélanie Sinnhuber for five instruments, the piece weaves together baroque timbres and contemporary colors, sacred and profane, tracing a musical thread from Élisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre to Kaija Saariaho, Ethel Smyth, and Sofia Goubaïdoulina, where memory and invention engage in a continuous dialogue.
