Sir András Schiff and Evgeny Kissin join at the piano for an intimate programme of pieces for two pianos and four hands. They perform Mozart’s Sonata in D major, KV 448, Schumann’s Andante and Variations, op. 46, and Bilder aus Osten, Smetana’s La Moldau in the four‑hand arrangement, plus selected Dvořák Slavonic Dances. The recital balances classical clarity with Romantic depth, highlighting refined ensemble interplay and the contrasting voices of two towering virtuosos.
Cirque Knie presents a family-oriented, large-scale circus spectacle combining athletic acrobatics, equestrian artistry and choreographed variety numbers. The programme balances fast-paced technical acts and poetic interludes, with careful staging, lighting and live musical accompaniment to create moments of wonder and humour. Suitable for children from four years upwards, the show prioritises accessibility and comfort while offering an immersive, theatrical atmosphere that blends tradition and contemporary circus aesthetics.
Choreographed by Christos Papadopoulos, My Fierce Ignorant Step gathers ten bodies whose mounting breath becomes the show’s engine. The piece translates performers’ respiration into kinetic waves and layered soundscapes, dialoguing with the contemporary music of Mikis Theodorakis. Drawing on the choral pulse of ancient tragedy, the work collapses collective Hellenic memory into intimate reveries — the impulse of beginnings, the buoyancy of first encounters and the spontaneous spark of early laughter. The staging is physical, precise and visceral.

The choreography explores youth, tenderness and forms of resistance, creating a fragile space where friendship becomes a means of survival and poetic witness.

Scène Vagabonde’s seventh edition brings a compact program of contemporary theatre and music, presenting three contrasting stage works — “Par le bout du nez”, “Quadrille” and “Prima facie” — alongside a concert by Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp as part of La Bâtie-Festival de Genève. Across intimate stagings the festival favors inventive direction, close ensemble interplay and a balance of wit and intensity, offering encounters that privilege physical presence, tonal variety and rigorous dramaturgy.
Choreographed by Léo Lérus, Gounouj in situ is an intimate, physical dance for four performers that evokes fragile, living landscapes. Rooted in gwoka rhythms and inspired by the creole concept of bousyè, the work blends traditional and contemporary vocabularies to explore vulnerability, transformation and resistance. Bodies shift between human and amphibious states across a sensory soundscape of bird song and marine breath, transforming the stage into a moving ecosystem and proposing a fragile possibility of new balance.
