The Ensemble Symphonique de Genève invites you to an enchanting evening exploring the Mysteries of the Night. This concert promises a musical journey where Night appears in various forms—as joyful, mysterious, and transfigured. Immerse yourself in the works of Mozart, Szymanowski, and Schoenberg, each celebrating the beauty and intrigue of this timeless moment. The program features Mozart’s “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik,” Szymanovsky’s “Notturno Tarantella,” and Schoenberg’s “Transfigured Night.”
Actor Samuel Labarthe turns Nicolas Bouvier’s fever-drenched memoir The Scorpion-Fish into a hypnotic, miniaturist tour de force: marooned in 1950s Ceylon after a headlong road trip from Geneva through the Balkans and Afghanistan, the once-ebullient traveller spirals into tropical delirium, trading human company for buzzing insects, mirage-bright visions and mordant humour that flits between the sublime and the grotesque. Under Catherine Schaub’s finely gauged direction, Labarthe channels both the lush lyricism and the slow-burn torment of this “motionless voyage,” distilling Bouvier’s languid prose into a tactile, rejuvenating elixir that lets the audience feel every bead of sweat, jolt of wonder and sting of isolation.
