Noir et Gerber — Two-Voice Trio

Booking Required

Simon Gerber and Sophie Noir lead a rare two-voice trio, joined by drummer and sound engineer Claude Kamber (often replaced in concert by Alberto Malo). Formed during a residency, the group blends soul, blues and chanson with touches of pop, folk and jazz. Their repertoire mixes original songs in French and English with obscure American soul duets, delivered with minimalist, electric intensity. Recorded and produced by the trio, their live-rooted approach foregrounds warm harmonies, intimate interplay and raw, resonant sonic textures.

Oncle Vania

Performances

Théâtre des Amis

Directed by Françoise Courvoisier, this production of Anton Chekhov’s Oncle Vania — translated by Arthur Adamov — assembles a committed ensemble (Vincent Bonillo, Pierre Dubey, Bérangère Mastrangelo, Patricia Mollet-Mercier, Clarisse Morizot, Pierre Omer, Juliana Samarine, Edmond Vuilloud) to explore love, the passage of time and illusions lost. The staging, created with scenographer Gilbert Maire and painter André Kasper, uses Rinaldo Del Boca’s lighting, Pierre Omer’s music and Nicolas Le Roy’s sound to evoke both the comedy and the terrifying humanity of Chekhov.

Peace Philharmonic & Khozyainov: Mozart

Performances

Conservatoire de Musique de Genève

Opening the season, the Peace Philharmonic joins pianist and conductor Nikolay Khozyainov for an evening devoted to Mozart. Khozyainov’s virtuosic touch illuminates the drama and lyricism of the Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor, while the orchestra delivers the grandeur and contrapuntal brilliance of the Symphony No. 41, ‘Jupiter’. The programme balances intimacy and orchestral power, offering refined phrasing, transparent textures and radiant elegance that bring Mozart’s expressive contrasts to life.

La Demande en mariage et l’ours

Performances

Théâtre de Carouge

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.

Les 4 Sans Voix …Y Vont Franco

Performances

Point Favre

Four master impressionists reunite for a comic revue exploring Francophone identities and stereotypes. Yann Lambiel, Steeve Diamond, Fabian Le Castel and Laurent Chandemerle switch between sketches and songs, delivering rapid-fire character voices and musical parodies. The new show condenses more than a decade of collaboration into ninety minutes of sharp observation, playful rivalry and vocal virtuosity, using some 400 impressions to probe what unites these artists across Belgium, Switzerland, France and Québec.

Une heure de tranquillité

Performances

Théâtre du Crève-Coeur

A darkly comic solo play about obsession and domestic chaos. When Michel finds a rare record he has long sought, he prepares a perfect hour to listen — but family, neighbours and a drip that will wreck the disc steadily intrude. The piece skewers selfishness with sharp humour and precise staging, combining intimate realism and heightened farce to probe human smallness and the desperate desire for solitude.

Pewma

Performances

Théâtre de l'Usine

Choreographed by Valeska Romero Curiqueo, Pewma (Mapudungun for “dream”) weaves dance, performance, live sound and poetry to trace transmissions between bodies. The piece confronts peripheral, wounded and violently marked identities through ritualized gestures and sensual collisions, invoking Venus as a figure of omen, destruction and rebirth. Live violin, synthesizers and vocals shape a tense, luminous soundscape as bodies dissolve and reconstitute, staging desire, friction and collective memory.
