3 March – 2 April

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?

Cédric Pescia presents his new recording of Bach’s French Suites, marking its Geneva launch with a recital. These six suites, composed during Bach’s Köthen period, follow the traditional French suite structure—blending elegance with contrapuntal richness.

Rooted in the dance traditions of the Renaissance and shaped by French influence, the French Suites reveal Bach’s mastery in transforming simple forms into profound musical statements. A key work for solo keyboard, and a cycle Pescia explores with depth and finesse.

Matteo Zimmermann and John Menoud present a performative, musical reading of Francis Ponge’s Texte sur l’électricité, blending spoken word and live sound in an eclectic lecture format. The piece revives Ponge’s 1950s commission by the Compagnie d’Électricité, probing themes of electrification, modernity and the everyday with wit and clear-sighted poetry. The duo navigates playful rhythms and sudden surges of intensity, where language itself crackles and invites reflection and laughter.
