Since making a striking debut, 21-year-old Austrian singer-songwriter Uche Yara has stood out with her experimental and avant-garde music, influenced by Tierra Whack, James Blake, and Tyler, the Creator. Her first EP, “GOLDEN DAYS,” captures the emotional journey from adolescence to adulthood.
The group “B cœur” offers a fresh take on Chet Baker’s music, delivering intimate and straightforward melodies. This quartet presents innovative rearrangements and free translations into French, blending love and humor. The ensemble features Nicolas Lambert on vocals, guitar, and lyrics; Pierre Balda on double bass; Maxime Van Heghe on trumpet and flugelhorn; and Emilie Bugnion on tenor saxophone.
Five talented actors, masters of movement, song, mime, and sound effects, bring humor to the adventures of Frantz. In the latest creation by Marc Granier and the BPM company, we follow Frantz, a man in his thirties whose mundane life is disrupted by his father’s unexpected death, prompting him to question his life’s purpose. The performance, blending mime, sound effects, and dialogue, delves into Frantz’s search for identity and meaning. Paul Ménage takes on the role of Frantz, supported by a dynamic soundscape created by three other actors. This touching and universally relatable piece is presented in collaboration with Pour-cent culturel Migros Geneva.

With Les lettres de mon père, Cie Gare Centrale offers an intimate and moving story where family memory and colonial history intertwine. Through puppetry, objects, and her trademark offbeat humor, Agnès revisits her childhood exile from Congo in 1960 and her father’s letters, to shed light—65 years later—on past wounds while questioning the weight of both personal and historical legacy.

With “Sésame 2025”, the Geneva Chamber Orchestra joins forces with musicians from Meyrin to celebrate music as a universal language. Transcending walls, cutting through barbed wire, and breaking down barriers, this project shows how music connects people, sparks encounters, and continues to inspire dialogue and unity.
Actor Samuel Labarthe turns Nicolas Bouvier’s fever-drenched memoir The Scorpion-Fish into a hypnotic, miniaturist tour de force: marooned in 1950s Ceylon after a headlong road trip from Geneva through the Balkans and Afghanistan, the once-ebullient traveller spirals into tropical delirium, trading human company for buzzing insects, mirage-bright visions and mordant humour that flits between the sublime and the grotesque. Under Catherine Schaub’s finely gauged direction, Labarthe channels both the lush lyricism and the slow-burn torment of this “motionless voyage,” distilling Bouvier’s languid prose into a tactile, rejuvenating elixir that lets the audience feel every bead of sweat, jolt of wonder and sting of isolation.
In French. Ages 12 and up.
