An intimate duet of movement and presence, Un corps pour deux explores the fragile balance between two bodies on stage. Through precise choreography and pared-back gestures, the piece maps tension, desire and mutual support. Sparse set and attentive lighting carve shifting relations while a focused ensemble of two performers navigates moments of stillness and explosive release. The work invites close attention to breath, touch and the physics of shared space.

An original Geneva jazz evening featuring the dynamic Big Up’ Band, presenting swing standards and crooner repertoire in an intimate club-style setting. The programme unfolds across two 45-minute live sets, offering a warm, lounge atmosphere ideal for relaxed listening while enjoying drinks and light bites. The arrangements focus on soulful vocals, tight horn charts and subtle rhythmic drive, highlighting improvisation and close interplay within a refined, late-night jazz mood.
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.

Amandine Casadamont and Madeleine Leclair present a live sound creation using vinyl records drawn from their distinct yet resonant collections. The performance weaves musical traditions of the Tout-monde with experimental, concrete and ambient practices, exploring texture, repetition and montage. Intimate and attentive, the set focuses on listening as a shared sculpted experience, moving between ritual echoes and electronic abstraction through delicate turntable gestures and live manipulation.
Le Truc sur le feu is a playful, offbeat fable that examines how the domestication of fire shaped human life. Written by Romane Nicolas, the piece stages two Paleolithic clans who wonder, clash and ignite as puppets by the Kokoschka tradition bring grotesque situations to life. With incisive humour and sharp theatricality, the show confronts ideas of progress, individuality versus community, animality and civilisation, offering a vividly staged reflection on the choices that set societies alight.

Choreographed by Valeska Romero Curiqueo, Pewma (Mapudungun for “dream”) weaves dance, performance, live sound and poetry to trace transmissions between bodies. The piece confronts peripheral, wounded and violently marked identities through ritualized gestures and sensual collisions, invoking Venus as a figure of omen, destruction and rebirth. Live violin, synthesizers and vocals shape a tense, luminous soundscape as bodies dissolve and reconstitute, staging desire, friction and collective memory.
Directed by Marika Dreistadt, Halte gives voice to eight young adults formerly in child protection, tracing the fragile passage from placement to adulthood. Non-professional performers — Zakaria Attoumani, Melanda Bertrand-Avebe, Celina Chraiet, Maël Do Nascimento, Alexis Limacher Abreu, Natalia Nguba Ekela, Clémentine Polly Care Pache and Léon Trolliet — blend testimony, courtroom scenes and moments of defiance. The staging mixes documentary realism and theatrical composition to reveal generation Z perspectives and intimate questions about authority, belonging and the future.
