The Call of the Forest in Geneva Music

Combining live harp, recorded sounds, video fragments and spoken stories, the performance moves between delicate textures and untamed echoes, evoking roots, caves and rivers that feed musical imagination. Presented in conjunction with the exhibition SAUVAGES by Claude Barras, it offers a contemplative, sensory journey that blends ecological memory with intimate live music.

Raul Midón is a virtuosic guitarist and singer whose golden voice blends jazz, soul and folk into an intimate, rhythmic sound world.

Molière’s Tartuffe tells the story of a slick con-man who hides behind ostentatious piety to worm his way into the wealthy Orgon household. Orgon, dazzled by Tartuffe’s sanctimonious rhetoric, defends him even as the impostor’s hypocrisy poisons family bonds and pushes the household toward ruin.

Director Jean Liermier underscores how, in Molière’s work, the female characters serve as the moral compass and spark of resistance, a beacon of hope against oppression. Staged on a stark, minimalist set that exposes the family’s rigid tensions—and featuring Gilles Privat as an unbending Orgon—this production highlights the play’s continuing resonance in a world beset by egotism, fanaticism, and conspiracy thinking. The central question remains timeless: will society keep falling for Tartuffe’s brand of seductive deceit?
