Open Doors 2026

Open Doors 2026 gathers eleven associated artists of the 25–26 season to share experimental proposals and fragments rather than finished pieces. Across two days they present short performances, rehearsed glimpses and collaborative attempts that prioritize risk, spontaneity and exploration. The program highlights a plurality of practices—sound, movement, film and performance—by Sophie Conus, Séraphine Sallin Mason, Pierre Ripoll, Filmsaaz, Pauline Coquart, Olha Semchyshyn, Mehdi Djouad, Alice Botelho, Noé Girard, Elina Crespi and Agathe de Limoges. An invitation to witness process and immediacy.

Listening Salon — Phonosynthesis by Julie Semoroz

Performances

Parc des Cropettes

Created and performed by Julie Semoroz, this 60-minute immersive listening salon transforms field recordings from around the world into a living sonic ecosystem. Layers of animal calls, wind and subtle vibrations weave with live interventions to blur the boundary between human and non-human listeners. The work, originally composed for the greenhouse of a botanical garden in collaboration with Artasperto and Korsonor, invites attentive contemplation through delicate textures and resonant, moving soundscapes.

Swiss Music Tour

Performances

Holy Trinity Church

Conducted by Kirsty Griffiths and Hélène Xiao, this choral programme brings together the UN Choir Geneva, the Geneva Chinese Choir and a Shanghai ensemble in a shared exploration of cultural dialogue and musical unity. Repertoire ranges from liturgical and traditional songs to contemporary choral arrangements, emphasising blend, timbre and communal singing. The evening frames voices as a bridge between cultures, offering luminous harmonies and moments of intimate resonance as choirs respond to one another across languages and traditions.

Season presentation(s)

Performances

Théâtre de Carouge

More than simple program announcements, these events are true theatrical “green flashes” — moments of celebration linking the end of one season to the start of the next. For this final edition (note the “s” in “presentation(s)”), director Jean Liermier and a constellation of surprise guests will present a lively retrospective: a collage of excerpts, images, sounds, and behind-the-scenes stories collected over eighteen years (2008–2026). The audience is invited on a playful and spectacular journey into the creative heart of the theatre, to relive its highlights, secrets, and emotions — each evening, of course, concluding with a vibrant round of applause.

Félix Ringaby

Performances

Caustic Comedy Club

Félix Ringaby, 22, is the new standout of Romandy stand-up. Laconic yet razor-sharp, he returns after a season of writing and testing with his first solo hour in development. With a rare gift for structuring jokes, he mines the ironies of daily life through self-mockery, delivering bursts of conflicting thoughts with surgical timing. Already a Radio Télévision Suisse contributor and finalist at Montreux Comedy and Morges-sous-Rire, he was named “Nouveau Visage” for Juste pour Rire in Montréal and Québec.

Vous avez dit Barbe Bleue ?

Performances

Théâtre de Carouge

Created collectively by the company À l’Ouest with Guillaume Pidancet, this inventive staging reimagines Charles Perrault’s Bluebeard for families. Performed in a mobile truck‑theatre that becomes a ‘suitcase of dreams,’ the production blends playful storytelling, poetic imagery and close‑up interaction to transform a dark tale into a gentle exploration of curiosity and trust. The intimate ensemble features Pierre Boulben, Hugo Braillard and Loubna Raigneau.

Métamorphose – Chapitre 1 : P. et B.

Performances

Théâtre du Loup

Directed as an in situ promenade, this performance follows two protagonists, P. and B., through the city’s hidden seams. B. conspires to seed an exuberant vegetal uprising, mastering invasive plants to unsettle urban order. P. slips into the city’s blind spots, picking locks and slipping through barriers to reveal alternative ways of inhabiting public space. The show mixes physical theatre, poetic staging and ecological imagination to explore rewilding, intimacy and civic subversion.
