Tango Jazz Quartet

On their 32nd international tour, Tango Jazz Quartet blends Argentine tango melodies and rhythms with jazz harmony and improvisation. Their repertoire traces a path from traditional tango to Astor Piazzolla’s compositions, delivered with the ensemble’s improvisational freedom. Led by Gustavo Firmenich (saxophone and clarinet), with Horacio Acosta (piano), Enzo Villar (double bass) and Ezequiel Vargas (drums), the quartet balances lyrical intensity and rhythmic drive to create an intimate, danceable soundscape.

Yasmine Hamdan

Performances

Alhambra

Yasmine Hamdan performs a set that folds pan-Arab traditions into contemporary electro-pop, where her intimate, smoky voice drifts between poetic lyricism and rhythmic propulsion. A singer-songwriter and producer who emerged with Beirut’s pioneering duo Soapkills and later collaborated with Mirwais, she blends soul, guitar-driven motifs and electronic textures. Her work with filmmakers like Elia Suleiman and Jim Jarmusch underscores its cinematic quality. The evening promises a meditative yet urgent soundscape that navigates memory, longing and tenderness.

D’amour et d’eau fraîche

Performances

Théâtre du Loup

Directed by Rémi Dufay, D’amour et d’eau fraîche is a stage adventure that celebrates movement, friendship and the unforeseen. Rémi Dufay and his ensemble probe margins and fragile frames, staging situations that slip away in a deliberately unsteady ceremony. The production blurs reality and magic, carrying the audience through a joyful, rocambolic wandering. A lively, generous performance that refuses stillness and favours continual transformation.

Ensemble Lafken with Pancho González, Christian Goza & José‑Luis Musetti

Performances

Temple de Plan-les-Ouates

Led by the folk ensemble Ensemble Lafken with singers Pancho González, Christian Goza and José‑Luis Musetti and featuring Peruvian musician Orlando Rodríguez, this program frames popular and folk songs as pages of identity.

The performance balances lyrical intimacy and communal energy, inviting audience-contributed poems on selected evenings to deepen the cultural dialogue.

Une heure de tranquillité

Performances

Théâtre du Crève-Coeur

A darkly comic solo play about obsession and domestic chaos. When Michel finds a rare record he has long sought, he prepares a perfect hour to listen — but family, neighbours and a drip that will wreck the disc steadily intrude. The piece skewers selfishness with sharp humour and precise staging, combining intimate realism and heightened farce to probe human smallness and the desperate desire for solitude.

Pling-Klang

Performances

Théâtre du Forum Meyrin

Pling-Klang is a physical theatre duo by Étienne Manceau and Mathieu Despoisse that turns the iconic IKEA KALLAX shelf into a mischievous stage partner. Building furniture becomes an acrobatic and comic ritual: screws are tightened and loosened, objects are juggled and bodies find precarious balance. Through precise object manipulation, deadpan humour and inventive acrobatics, the piece reveals the small catastrophes and tender compromises of couple life, combining slapstick with intimate emotion.

In French.
