Voix de Fête Festival: GiedRé & Luca Léone

Performances

Booking Required

Humorous yet caustic, GiedRé offers a Maxi Best Of of sharp songs that turn pain into laughter; her stage persona plays with spotlight and irony, creating moments that sting as much as they amuse. Luca Léone blends song and theatre, continuing his album-spectacle explorations from Rose to Paradiso and Roma, where cinematic staging and autobiographical lyricism meet. Together they alternate between intimate confession and theatrical flourish, crafting an evening that balances wit, melancholy and striking visual gestures within a vividly staged musical landscape.

In French.

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.

Winter of Caecilia

Performances

Théâtre Cæcilia

Winter of Caecilia gathers seven local theatre productions that revisit contemporary and classic forms through monologue and solo performance. Artists such as Nastassja Tanner, Ahmed Belbachir, Roland Vouilloz and Vincent Jacquet offer intimate, visceral interpretations, while texts by playwrights like Fabrice Melquiot are brought to life under directors including Jean‑Yves Ruf. The programme mixes poetic, comic and physically charged pieces that privilege sensory staging and emotional immediacy, inviting audiences into distinct, singular theatrical universes.

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.

Le Loop

Performances

Salle Communale d'Onex

Winner of a 2025 Molière, “The Loop” is a zany comedy by Robin Goupil that takes the audience on a whimsical detective journey through Kansas. Douglas and Carrie, two tough cops, are trying to solve a murder with the mayor’s son as the main suspect, but they find themselves caught in a time loop. With an exceptional cast delivering outstanding performances, the show blends questionable metaphors, clever wordplay, and musical references, evoking laughter and surprises all the way to its absurdly grand finale.

In French.

3 – 15 March

Music-Hall

Performances

Théâtre des Amis

Revived by director Ninon Fachard after the original staging by Véronique Ros de la Grange, this solo piece stars Jacques Michel with Caroline Gasser as the prompter. Lighting by Rinaldo Del Boca and music by Alain Lamarche carve intimate, shadowed spaces around a red sequined curtain. Makeup by Natalia Lepianka and costumes by Emilie Revel shape the fading glamour of a music‑hall star who soliloquises, recalls past glory and loss, and sings in playback—an inward plunge toward memory and survival.

3 – 7 March

Emma Saba / Mary Madlean — Jalousie des Tempêtes

Performances

Pavillon ADC

Emma Saba and Jeanne Pâris revive the lyric repertoire in a subversive, celebratory performance. Playing with time and inheritance, Saba reworks early arias into electric fragments, laughter and amplified sighs. The piece interrogates the politics of the voice as opera sheds its white pageant to become raw material, desire, anger and tenderness. Part performance, part concert, Jalousie des tempêtes stages a ritual of dismantling and rejoicing, where vocal technique meets bodily intensity and theatrical invention.
