Star Thérapie

Performances

Les Caves Versoix

Star Thérapie is a wild, off-kilter musical comedy from the Chrysalide Academy company that turns celebrity worship into absurd obsession.

Jeremy Crausaz “Fête de Famille”

Performances

Caustic Comedy Club

Jeremy Crausaz invites the audience into a family celebration where laughter collides with reproach and affection sits uneasily beside rivalry. His sharp observations blend nostalgia, jealousy and everyday absurdities, with failed desserts, conversations that derail and blunt political tangents all delivered with a humane, comic eye.

Grandeur Nature

Cool Stuff Performances

La Comédie de Genève

Created and performed by Anne-Sophie Turion, Grandeur Nature is an audio-guided promenade that lets listeners slip into the intimate lives of strangers. Wearing headphones, the audience follows a voice-over that transforms ordinary streets, parking lots and public gardens into a theatrical, subtly augmented reality. Real residents become the protagonists of a narrative woven from their own stories, producing a delicate, poetic exploration of the everyday and the hidden resonances of urban life.
