Pergolesi: Stabat Mater & Vivaldi: The Four Seasons

Booking Required

Led by conductor Andres Gabetta, the Avetis Baroc Festival Orchestra joins soprano Varduhi Khachatryan and mezzo-soprano Marina Viotti for Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater and Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. The programme contrasts intimate sacred lament with virtuosic concerti, highlighting radiant violin lines and expressive vocal duets. Sparse textures and shimmering orchestral color frame voices and solo violin, creating a meditative yet vivid soundworld that balances baroque clarity with dramatic immediacy.

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.

Insuline

Performances

Théâtre le Galpon

Bold and poetic, “Insuline” is a powerful denouncement of virilist and heteronormative excesses. Combining the sharp words of Lou Lepori, the music of Marc Berman, and the performance of Cédric Leproust, this fiery recital challenges conventions and unspoken norms. This queer show, driven by tumultuous and subversive expression, celebrates a body that rejects imposed normality.

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.
