The project, led by Leone (writing, composition and vocals), unfolds through cinematic soundscapes and collective energy. He is joined by Mael Brauchli (bass, sound design), Mathieu Lazuli (guitar) and Lionel Nendaz (drums).

Returning after two decades on the scene, Odezenne presents the Bordeaux trio’s genre-defying sound, mixing blunt, poetic lyrics with autotuned waltzes and shrewd social observation.

The set privileges rhythmic play, vocal contrasts and raw emotional intensity, offering a concentrated, immersive concert experience that reflects the group’s restless, uncompromising outlook.

Created by the company Alliance Créative, COMME UN LUNDI is a fully improvised theatre piece that probes the textures of modern work life. The five performers — Nina Cachelin, Deborah Chirenti, Malik Kaufmann, Adrien Laplana and Eric Lecoultre — conjure shifting office micro-worlds, from awkward ambition to quiet complicity. Through rapid character shifts, minimalist staging and elastic rhythm, the troupe maps rivalries, unspoken desires and the absurdity of ‘bullshit jobs’, producing moments both comic and quietly unsettling.

An intimate programme by five musicians that traces Portuguese song across centuries, from fervent 20th‑century folk to the ornate lines of Renaissance court singers. Led by vocalist Sofia Pedro and instrumentalists Tiago Simas Freire (flutes, cornet, bagpipes), Filipa Meneses (viola, rabel), Bor Zuljan (lute, guitar) and Rui Silva (adufe, pandeiro, bells), the performance blends rhythmic drive, modal melodies and delicate ornamentation. Presented in collaboration with the Ateliers d’ethnomusicologie and AMR, supported by the City of Geneva and Fonds culturel Sud.
Directed by Geneviève Pasquier and performed by Vincent Babel, LETTRE À MON DICTATEUR stages Eugène’s cathartic gesture of writing to Nicolae Ceauşescu.

The creative space favors spare tableaux, tactile sound textures and a nimble rhythm that offsets historical weight with mischievous warmth, transforming personal trauma into a tender, witty coming-of-age confession.
