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.

Choreographed by Tidiani N’Diaye, this urban parade is a collective moving performance that links choreography and civic engagement. Performers and participants wear costumes fashioned from colourful single-use plastic bags, a striking symbol of consumption’s excess and global imbalance. The work traces themes of North–South interconnection, climate and social justice, weaving ritual, rhythmic procession and communal singing into a vibrant public tableau. Created in collaboration with the Fédération genevoise de coopération for its 60th anniversary and Shap Shap, the parade is celebratory and questioning.
