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.

Mariés au premier ringard

Performances

Uptown

Mariés au premier ringard is a sharp, character-driven theatrical comedy that dissects the absurdities of modern relationships with warmth and irony. The staging favors close ensemble interaction, a lean scenography and precise lighting that underline shifting loyalties and comic misunderstandings. Moments of tenderness puncture the satire, inviting reflection on intimacy, identity and the small rituals of coupling. It balances humour and poignancy to produce a lively theatrical pulse.

Led by drummer-composer Lukas Briner, Hyla Crucifer sets narratives to music with a dark, playful and hypnotic sound. The quintet—Vera Baumann (vocals), Julia Rüffert (trombone), Cyrill Ferrari (guitar), Johanna Pärli (double bass) and Briner on drums—crafts a curious sonic palette and a distinctive rhythmic language that blurs genre lines. Sparse textures, propulsive grooves and timbral surprises create an intimate, immersive atmosphere, presenting material from their new EP on Austrian label Boomslang.

Un rapport sur la banalité de l’amour

Performances

Théâtre Alchimic

Directed by François Marin, this intimate staging examines the fraught passion between Martin Heidegger and Hannah Arendt against the moral upheavals of Nazi Germany. Mario Diament’s text, adapted by André Nerman, traces a forbidden love between a philosopher and his student, probing complicity, memory and the struggle to reconcile heart and conscience. Sabrina Martin and Frank Semelet inhabit the roles with spare, intense performances, supported by a precise, austere mise en scène that foregrounds emotional conflict and ethical ambiguity.
