Morgane Meli turns her sharp radio chronicles into a first solo stage show that blends stand-up intimacy with candid social observation. Her writing pairs dry wit and vulnerability, tracing personal stories and current affairs through a confessional, free-form performance. The pace alternates brisk sketches and reflective moments, inviting laughter and thought in equal measure. Minimal staging keeps focus on voice and timing, delivering a distinctive, personal comic portrait.

Faada Freddy, a leading voice in gospel and a master of soul and blues, joins the Geneva Camerata for an intimate concert blending a cappella singing with instrumental performance.

The programme features an original set for Freddy and a capella musicians alongside a performance of Sibelius’s Symphony No. 2, offering contrast between chamber lyricism and expressive orchestral breadth.

Four performers embody testimonies from different generations in Sept, situated at the crossroads of dance and film. Between intimate confidences and tender tableaux, the piece examines how age shapes us and stages a delicate exploration of what growing older means, revealing a shared humanity. The staging shifts between projected images and live bodies, weaving visual and physical layers to create an experience that is both poetic and unsettling.

Mobula is an ode to the movement of water, a dance piece that reflects humanity’s relationship with the ocean. Directed by Jean‑Camille Goimard and performed by Pierre Theoleyre, Denis Terrasse and Anna Martin‑François, the choreography channels aquatic energy: floating beneath the surface, being tossed by waves, confronting the storm. Images are projected across a sail-like structure while Anne Martin appears as a dancer in the film, and narratives from people who live with the sea punctuate the work.
