Tania Dutel returns with a new fourth show that sharpens her observational wit into a daring theatrical experiment. Mixing stand-up energy with fragmented narrative and quicksilver timing, she probes miscommunication, identity and the chaos of modern intimacy. Minimal staging and precise rhythms magnify bursts of tenderness and corrosive humour, creating a performance that unsettles and delights. A compact, incisive evening from a fiercely original voice.

Marie Desroles blends sharp social critique and tender humanity in a stand-up that probes mental health, social inequalities and female sexuality. With a mix of toughness and vulnerability, she breaks conventions through candid storytelling and biting humour, balancing acidity and sweetness. The performance feels authentic, intimate and generous, offering piercing observations wrapped in warmth. Expect bold takes, emotional honesty and a playful yet incisive voice that unsettles and embraces in equal measure.

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.
Directed by Céline Goormaghtigh and written by Anne Berest, LA VISITE probes maternal instinct with sharp humour and urgent intensity. In a compact domestic setting, a young mother at the limits of endurance confronts visitors while her defenses dissolve; a trio of actresses whirl and collide, delivering a caustic torrent of language and revealing movement. The work explores ‘matraissance’—the birth of motherhood—balancing lucidity, rage and tenderness to unsettle familiar myths about maternal bliss.

With an authentic, melancholic yet luminous voice, Dinaa transforms personal stories into songs. As singer-songwriter and composer she spent two years on the road alone with her guitar, giving more than a hundred concerts and sharing stages with renowned artists. Her debut album, Maison Vide, blends pop-rock, blues-soul and hip-hop–infused lyricism to map a raw emotional territory, singing of love, fractures and inner struggles with sincerity and restrained power.
Led by musicologist Mathilde Reichler and journalist Charles Sigel, this lecture-concert examines the singular sound world of Sofia Gubaidulina through commentary and live performance by internationally renowned Swiss musicians. The program alternates analytical introductions and concentrated chamber renditions, highlighting spiritual intensity, timbral experimentation and lyrical restraint. Performances emphasise quiet intensity and resonant textures, creating an intimate, contemplative atmosphere that balances scholarly insight with the immediacy of sound.

Jaune is a fresh stage piece created and performed by recent graduates Mathis Josselin and Gabrielle Pialoux. This first collaboration explores the many faces of the colour yellow — joy, friendship, tenderness, desire and its more ambivalent edges — with an intimate, playful and sincere theatrical language. The creators blend minimal staging and tactile gestures to produce a concise, evocative hour of shared emotion and quiet humour.
In French. Created for the Fête du théâtre 2026.
