Voix de Fête Festival: Romanens / Calpini

Romanens & Calpini stage a dialogue between spoken word and sculpted electronics. Thierry Romanens’s inhabited texts, drawn from authors he admires, meet Christophe Calpini’s finely wrought soundscapes: electro drums, sung-text fragments and shifting tensions. Created at the Théâtre de l’Échandole, the duo shapes a compact, vibrant concert where precision and raw energy coexist. Lighting and sonic detail carve intimate moments and sudden surges, transporting listeners into a taut, lyrical atmosphere.

In French.

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.

3 – 17 March

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.

Now in its 28th edition, Voix de Fête gathers a chorus of francophone voices across nearly fifty concerts on a dozen stages. The programme juxtaposes rap, chanson, electro and world musics, presenting artists such as Oxmo Puccino with guest Yao, Vincent Delerm, MPL, Les Fils du Facteur (with Compagnie des 10 Doigts en Cavale in a chant‑signed project), Sam Sauvage, Marguerite, GiedRé and others. A tribute to Michel Bühler brings several interpreters together, while spontaneous jam nights and collaborative sets foreground live intensity and cross-genre dialogue.

17 – 22 March

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.
