Yacine Belhousse returns with « 2026 », a new show that blends absurd humour and poetry, drawn from an eventful year. Known to wide audiences through the Jamel Comedy Club, Bref and Golden Moustache, he offers an elegant, offbeat perspective on everyday life, weaving Anglo‑Saxon references and unexpected digressions. The staging balances stand-up rhythm with theatrical, lyrical moments, inviting laughter and reflection across sharp timing and gentle absurdity.

Simon Gerber and Sophie Noir lead a rare two-voice trio, joined by drummer and sound engineer Claude Kamber (often replaced in concert by Alberto Malo). Formed during a residency, the group blends soul, blues and chanson with touches of pop, folk and jazz. Their repertoire mixes original songs in French and English with obscure American soul duets, delivered with minimalist, electric intensity. Recorded and produced by the trio, their live-rooted approach foregrounds warm harmonies, intimate interplay and raw, resonant sonic textures.
Led by choreographer and pedagogue Guillaume Siard, the junior Area Jeune Ballet de Genève responds to a contemporary exhibition by turning visual motifs into movement. The young ensemble investigates ways of seeing, using layers and superposition as a choreographic device. Sparse gestures, precise groupings and shifting light suggest new perspectives on the artworks, while an attentive staging balances playful experimentation with rigorous technique, creating an intimate, contemplative atmosphere that invites reflection and renewed visual attention.
An original Geneva jazz evening featuring the dynamic Big Up’ Band, presenting swing standards and crooner repertoire in an intimate club-style setting. The programme unfolds across two 45-minute live sets, offering a warm, lounge atmosphere ideal for relaxed listening while enjoying drinks and light bites. The arrangements focus on soulful vocals, tight horn charts and subtle rhythmic drive, highlighting improvisation and close interplay within a refined, late-night jazz mood.
Amandine Casadamont and Madeleine Leclair present a live sound creation using vinyl records drawn from their distinct yet resonant collections. The performance weaves musical traditions of the Tout-monde with experimental, concrete and ambient practices, exploring texture, repetition and montage. Intimate and attentive, the set focuses on listening as a shared sculpted experience, moving between ritual echoes and electronic abstraction through delicate turntable gestures and live manipulation.
Two short plays by Anton Chekhov staged by Tibor Ockenfels and Flavie Tapparel, presented as compact dramatic machines where romantic comedy masks escalating confrontations between desire, affection and material interest. Performances rely on precise physical timing, terse exchanges and a lean, playful design to reveal the simmering violence behind courtship rituals. The three actors — Estelle Bridet, Matteo Prandi and Raphaël Vachoux — inhabit heightened character types that shift between farce and darker comic truth, creating a sharply observed, kinetic evening.

A darkly comic solo play about obsession and domestic chaos. When Michel finds a rare record he has long sought, he prepares a perfect hour to listen — but family, neighbours and a drip that will wreck the disc steadily intrude. The piece skewers selfishness with sharp humour and precise staging, combining intimate realism and heightened farce to probe human smallness and the desperate desire for solitude.
