Four performers create three encounters in scenographies borrowed from other artists for the evening. Each time a new improvised story unfolds, revisiting the decor of an existing show and suggesting that everything might have been written beforehand. Performers discover a set they know only by its title, then immediately improvise a piece shaped solely by the stage space. Each improvisation is followed by a post-show discussion (bord de scène).

Monday 2 November, 19:30

The Kodály Francophone Institute and the Geneva Hungarian Association present a commemorative concert dedicated to the memory of the minor victims of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. Framed by a spirit of remembrance, the event brings together music and collective reflection in a solemn, respectful atmosphere. The performance honours historical memory through a program shaped by commemoration rather than spectacle, offering audiences a quiet and moving encounter with the past.

30 October – 14 November

Four performers embody testimonies from different generations in Sept, situated at the crossroads of dance and film. Between intimate confidences and tender tableaux, the piece examines how age shapes us and stages a delicate exploration of what growing older means, revealing a shared humanity. The staging shifts between projected images and live bodies, weaving visual and physical layers to create an experience that is both poetic and unsettling.

27 October – 15 November

Focus Jeune Création brings together a new generation of Romand artists over two weeks, presenting five bold and hybrid performances that blur theatre, performance and live art. The program explores emergent writing and stage practices— from plateau-based text to pieces rooted in the real—offering layered, often indisciplinary approaches that question formats and invent languages for a transforming world. Accompanying meetings and discussions extend the works and open insight into creative processes.

Monday 2 November, 20:00

Associations Encontro and Kinch present a two-part evening of jazz and Brazilian music led by rising star Frederico Heliodoro and composer-arranger Louis Matute. Heliodoro opens with intimate quartet pieces that blend rhythmic warmth and modern improvisation. Later, Matute’s Large Ensemble performs Dolce Vita with legendary singer Joyce Moreno, weaving generational dialogues between classic samba, bossa nova and contemporary jazz textures. The concert celebrates Brazil’s musical heritage and inventive spirit across multiple generations.

22 September – 29 November

Two short plays by Anton Chekhov staged by Tibor Ockenfels and Flavie Tapparel, presented as compact dramatic machines where romantic comedy masks escalating confrontations between desire, affection and material interest. Performances rely on precise physical timing, terse exchanges and a lean, playful design to reveal the simmering violence behind courtship rituals. The three actors — Estelle Bridet, Matteo Prandi and Raphaël Vachoux — inhabit heightened character types that shift between farce and darker comic truth, creating a sharply observed, kinetic evening.
