The Selfie Concert – Ivo Dimchev

“The Selfie Concert” by Ivo Dimchev at Maison Saint-Gervais is an interactive performance where the artist sings only when spectators take a selfie with him. This concept challenges the notions of narcissism and the interdependence between stars and fans, raising questions about perception and existence. The show highlights our mutual need for both the artist and audience to bring the event to life.

Directed by Geneviève Pasquier and performed by Vincent Babel, LETTRE À MON DICTATEUR stages Eugène’s cathartic gesture of writing to Nicolae Ceauşescu. The production blends intimate monologue with archival echoes, folding fragments of Pierre Omer’s Swing Revue into a jazz-tinged score that punctuates memory and revelation. The creative space favors spare tableaux, tactile sound textures and a nimble rhythm that offsets historical weight with mischievous warmth, transforming personal trauma into a tender, witty coming-of-age confession.

Artistic direction by Cédric Pescia frames a collective traversal of György Kurtág’s landmark piano cycle Játékok, performed by students and young pianists from HEM, CMG, CPMDT, IJD and pre‑college programmes. The cycle presents Books I–X alongside the world premiere of the unpublished Book XI, a sequence of miniatures that are playful yet exacting. The repertoire explores gesture, texture and concentrated musical language, creating an intimate sonic landscape that balances delicate detail with sudden bursts of intensity. Presented for Kurtág’s centenary and CMG’s 190th anniversary.

“Les Trois Soeurs à Trois” by Collectif BPM at Maison Saint-Gervais presents an inventive reinterpretation of Chekhov’s play. Artists Catherine Büchi, Léa Pohlhammer, and Pierre Mifsud transform this classic by portraying journalists recording a radio show. They narrate the real or imagined stories of different productions of the play, while sharing personal and family anecdotes, providing a humorous and sharp reflection on their own dreams and illusions.

Performed by Sarcloret, this musiquethéâtre piece blends song and spoken reflection to trace Bob Dylan’s imprint on quality Swiss French songwriting.

Staging is kept spare to focus on vocal colour and textual resonance, crafting an intimate, inquisitive atmosphere that reframes familiar songs as living documents of influence.

In early January 2022, two construction vehicles belonging to a Swiss multinational were set on fire at a gravel pit in the Geneva countryside. Over a year later, a young man — referred to as Jérémy — was arrested and suspected of involvement in the arson. Held in pre-trial detention, he was released after more than three months, following strong public support and mobilization.

Adapted and performed by Felipe Castro, this solo staging probes the absurdity of war, murderous nationalism and the raw misery at the heart of Céline’s writing. Coach José Lillo supports a performance of muscular, visceral language while Natacha Jaquerod’s set, Rinaldo Del Boca’s lighting and Jean Faravel’s sound sculpt stark, claustrophobic atmospheres. The production balances brutal imagery with moments of surprising humanity, revealing the author’s vocation as a doctor through an intimate, relentless theatrical journey.
