Le Tartuffe

Performances

Théâtre de Carouge

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?

In French. Ages 12 and up.

L’imposture

Performances

Théâtre Alchimic

Created by Aurélie Hubeau and Lucie Hanoy, L’IMPOSTURE is a comic and poetic exploration of doubt, self-image and belonging. The piece follows a woman who describes herself as too small, obese, ugly and a tomboy, and recounts how she forged an identity in today’s world. Using objects, clothing and puppets manipulated with inventive choreography, the performance weaves humor, poetry and music — from Patrick Bruel to gospel and karaoke — to celebrate difference and question social norms, delivering warmth and poignancy.

A Servant to Two Masters

Performances

Le Manège d'Onex

Lost love, mistaken identities, and non-stop laughs collide in The Servant of Two Masters, presented by the English language theatre in Geneva. In this fast-paced classic by Carlo Goldoni—adapted by Lee Hall—hungry servant Truffaldino attempts to serve two masters at once, only to unleash a whirlwind of comic chaos. Sharp, physical, and irresistibly funny, this is classic comedy with a contemporary bite.

In English.

Being a Poet in Times of War / Gaza, Oh My Joy

Performances

Bibliothèque de la Cité

Hend Jouda performs a powerful Arabic reading that traces the experience of war, precarity and the fragile hope of renewal. Her voice, carried among intimate anecdotes and universal gestures, fragments everyday life while carving a poetic space. Translator and collaborator Henri Jules Julien provides a reflective translation and outside perspective, and Youness Atbane shapes the sound environment to heighten textures and silence. Presented with French surtitles, the performance balances urgency and tenderness.

Epidermis Circus

Performances

Théâtre des Marionnettes

Ingrid Hansen, a puppet artist from the Jim Henson Company (Fraggle Rock, Sesame Workshop), stages a surreal cabaret of illusions and absurd comedy. The variety show is led by Florence, a mischievous grandmother figure, and mixes bold cinematic video, close‑ups of everyday objects projected large, puppetry and daring sleights to create impertinent, often erotic vignettes. The piece juxtaposes tactile puppet performance with live filmic effects to produce surprising, humorous and uncanny moments.
