Thibaud Agoston delivers a deeply personal stand-up hour that traces sexuality, love and the pain of a breakup. With sharp timing and candid honesty he navigates themes of friendship, desire and the loss of familiar certainties, turning vulnerability into comic insight. Agoston is an emblematic figure of Swiss stand-up, with 17 humour awards, numerous radio and TV columns for Radio Télévision Suisse, four Montreux Comedy galas and a large touring history.

Masood Boomgaard performs as Self-Help Singh, an alter ego who fuses stand-up comedy, parody and faux motivational speaking into a sharp, character-driven show. His sharp stage persona amplifies timely observations. With dry humour and plainspoken common-sense, he dismantles self-improvement clichés and exposes modern anxieties through carefully observed gags and storytelling. The performance balances wit and unexpected tenderness, inviting reflection as much as laughter.

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.

Musiques Interdites recreates the charged atmosphere of a Weimar-era cabaret where humour, poetry and music become acts of resistance. Hosted by Lucile Richardot and Éléonore Pancrazi, the evening revives works banned under Nazi rule—jazz, pieces by Jewish and politically persecuted composers—and blends songs, instrumental numbers and recomposed arrangements. The production foregrounds the subversive power of art, evoking both the creative freedom pursued by artists and the fear and repression that sought to silence them.
Led by conductor Raphaël Merlin and featuring violinist Nemanja Radulović, this concert pairs Prokofiev’s luminous Second Violin Concerto with Brahms’s First Serenade. Radulović’s electrifying stage presence and stratospheric technique bring out the concerto’s ironic brightness, while the serenade unfolds with warm lyricism and folk-tinged dance rhythms. The Geneva Chamber Orchestra shapes intimate textures and bold crescendos, sculpted through attentive phrasing and dynamic contrasts to create a colourful, emotionally rich opening to the season.
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.
