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.

Mentir lo Mínimo by Cie Alta Gama follows the journey of three bodies — a woman, a man and a bicycle — stripped down to the essentials: the body itself. Performers Amanda and Alejo create daring partnering, acrobatics and bicycle voltiges to explore self-relationship, identity and intimacy. Blending circus, theatre and live music within a minimalist aesthetic, the piece treats physicality with subtlety and celebration, offering a poetic, tactile reflection on presence.

5 November – 3 December

Renegade Saints bring their flagship improv comedy to the stage with Fast. Funny. Made Up., their longest-running English-language show in Geneva. Built from audience suggestions, the performance unfolds in quick, unpredictable scenes full of playful energy and sharp comic timing. The atmosphere is informal and convivial, with the crowd guiding the journey from their seats. Fast-paced and generous in spirit, it offers the thrill of watching stories invented in the moment.

5 November – 22 April

The Mosaic Season presents the artistic expertise of its teachers, offering them a stage to share their work as artists, dancers, actors, musicians, performers and composers. This season invites audiences to five encounters celebrating diversity, exchange and creation, from Cuban rhythms to European baroque, from contemporary harp to jazz-tinged percussion and the sonic energies of Vertixe Sonora Ensemble. Intimate formats emphasise collaboration, timbral exploration and creative dialogue.

Don’t Kill The Cow brings its alternative rock universe to the stage with four musicians whose shared energy moves between punchy drive and fragile tenderness. Based in French-speaking Switzerland, the band draws on a path shaped by local festivals and venues, from early EPs to an album recorded in Geneva and recent singles such as the bilingual VII. Their set promises raw emotion, immediate connection, and a feverish intensity that feels both human and electric.

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.
