Norma Jeane Baker de Troie

Directed by Maya Bösch, Norma Jeane Baker de Troie reimagines Anne Carson’s rewriting to overlap Sparta, New York and Hollywood in a fierce theatrical inquiry into power, domination and representation. Barbara Baker and Victor Roy embody multiple figures in a volatile, multilayered staging, propelled by incisive scenography and explosive physicality. Édouard Louis’s translation sharpens the text’s contemporary edge. An accessible summary in easy French is provided on the production page.

Two incandescent works meet in a programme of ardent passion and doomed desire. Janáček’s Zápisník zmizelého (The Diary of One Who Disappeared), here in Laurent Cuniot’s arrangement, stages the feverish confession of a young peasant enthralled by a gypsy; Manuel de Falla’s El amor brujo (1915 version) conjures Andalusian rites, flamenco rhythms and orchestral heat. Isabelle Druet and tenor Petr Nekoranec lead the vocal drama, with the Orchestre de Chambre de Genève in a co-production marking de Falla’s 150th anniversary.

Guihome returns with a finely observed one‑man show that traces the passage from childhood to adulthood through a gallery of new characters and a naturalistic staging. The performance blends candid humour, tenderness and sharp, observational monologue as it follows first moves, first marriage and a first funeral. The staging favours realism and intimate storytelling, creating a warm, reflective atmosphere sustained across nearly two hours.
