Voix de Fête Festival: Ooralise, Le Talu & Louv

Performances

Booking Required

Genevan-based Ooralise, Brussels’s Le Talu (with producer maïa blondeau), and Louv (with Geneva beatmaker Dyd) converge in a night of contemporary French-language rap. Ooralise pairs incisive lyrics and varied flows with an intimate resistance; Le Talu mixes digital rap, post‑trip‑hop and glitchy ASMR into raw, ritualistic performances; Louv blends classical textures, rap pulses and storytelling with feminist and queer urgency. Together they create a charged, sweaty atmosphere where vulnerability and defiance meet.

Succès Reprise

Performances

Théâtre des Grottes

Succès Reprise is a sparkling vaudeville that blurs the line between theatrical comedy and the comedy of everyday life. A charming love triangle performed by a tight trio of actors unfolds through rapid-fire exchanges, physical gags and shifting misunderstandings. The staging favours bright pace and playful timing, delivering light-hearted warmth while revealing awkward human impulses and social foibles. The piece leaves a lingering smile and a sense of affectionate irony.

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.

Des milliers de Sankara

Performances

La julienne

As part of the cultural season in Plan-les-Ouates, the Puck Collective presents a historical drama based on testimonies from Burkina Faso and Switzerland.

Immersed in a popular uprising, Aminata navigates a landscape of hope and uncertainty while confronting the hidden aspects of her personal history. The performance delves into Sankara’s legacy and raises questions about the future of coming generations.

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.

In French.

Taverna Miresia – Mario, Bella, Anastasia

Performances

La Comédie de Genève

Set beneath a neon restaurant sign in a Tirana suburb, this non-verbal theatrical-musical performance stages a son’s interior journey. Mario Banushi invites memories and nostalgia to confront the absence of his father, a cook and tavern owner. Fragmented scenes shift between everyday domesticity and hallucinatory tableaux, exploring grief, silence and unspoken bonds through physicality, music and evocative staging. The work balances intimacy and ritual, drawing the audience into a sparse, haunting world.

Nous ou le paradoxe du hérisson

Kids Performances

Théâtre du Loup

When we hear the word “family,” we often think of our own. But today, with so many different models, what truly defines a family?

In this playful, child-friendly performance, Muriel Imbach explores these questions through six whimsical characters — futuristic poets who reflect on chosen families, blended families, and the invisible bonds that connect us. A poetic journey into what it means to “make family” today.

In French. Kids ages 8 and up.
