Soundtrack: Finding Home

Soundtrack: Finding Home blends song, staged movement and spoken monologue to trace the fragile journey of a newcomer to Geneva. Performed by a mix of professional and amateur artists, the piece navigates doubt, joy and the search for belonging through intimate vocal textures and choreographed tableaux. The city is imagined as a living presence that answers and challenges the protagonist, while lighting and sound sketches create shifting atmospheres, moving from disorientation to tentative connection.

In French.

3 – 6 September

Written, directed and performed by Adrien Buensod and Maxence Marmy, Le vol des mouettes is an absurd tragicomedy about isolation and the ritualisation of bureaucracy. Two government agents stranded on a remote island decode confidential messages as routine and procedure acquire surreal weight. Actor director Martine Corthésy shapes the performers’ delicate balance between precision and bewilderment; Lam Do sculpts the world with spare lighting and technical design. The piece unfolds with dark humour and lingering unease, attentive to timing and silence.
