The Geneva Comedy is set to host a major cultural event called "Young Creation," running from October 27 to November 15, 2026. The festival will feature five multidisciplinary performances that explore a wide range of themes, from political theater and contemporary dance to geopolitical performances. It aims to highlight the evolving cultural landscape of Romandy, the French-speaking region of Switzerland, and its connections with the international arts scene. The festival will open from October 27 to 31 with Menace chorale, directed by Swiss artist Gabriel Sparti. This production, co-created by Swiss and Belgian collaborators, is set in a fictional small town named Ici. It follows an amateur choir awaiting the arrival of a renowned music director, using the setting to examine how ordinary people can be drawn to authoritarian and nationalist ideologies. The performance will feature actors Raphaëlle Corbisier and Karim Daher. From October 28 to November 8, Studio 1 of the Comedy will host Chrüsimüsi, a joint creation by Franco-German director Eléonore Bonah and scenographer Maria Clara Castioni. This piece explores the life and mysterious disappearance in 1996 of Swiss Alemannic writer Adelheid Duvanel. The performance, staged in French, German, and Italian, brings back the poetic and darkly humorous style of an author often compared to Franz Kafka and Robert Walser. The interpreters include Luna Desmeules and Jeanne Devos. From November 3 to 7, choreographer Edouard Hue and his Beaver Dam Company will present a two-part performance titled Avant la nuit / L’Oiseau de feu in the Grand Hall. The first part, Avant la nuit, explores the dynamics of a family home at bedtime, with twelve adult dancers portraying ten children and two parents. The second part reimagines Igor Stravinsky’s L’Oiseau de feu, depicting children caught in a world of uniformity and manipulation, while parents try to free them. The piece touches on themes of intergenerational conflict and the struggle to maintain individuality in a standardized world. Also scheduled from November 3 to 7 is War Trilogy, a work by Russian exiles Elina Kulikova and Dima Efremov. The trilogy consists of three parts—Un champ brûlé, Un endroit perdu, and Une nuit blanche—which can be seen separately or as a full program on November 7. The work critiques myths of "great Russian culture" and addresses the Russian invasion of Ukraine and internal repression. It includes a ritual of funeral lamentations and an electro performance highlighting resistance and networks for rescuing political prisoners. As the festival’s climax, from November 12 to 15, choreographer Catol Teixeira will present Baby Teeth, a creation involving ten dancers, poets, and visual artists from around the world. The piece explores the space of the mouth, from the emergence of teeth to the act of biting and loss. It is designed as a sensory and polyphonic journey, rejecting traditional hierarchies in favor of a collective, non-hierarchical approach developed during residencies in Rio de Janeiro and Zurich. The production emphasizes an ethics of conviviality, inviting the audience to rethink listening and bodily coexistence.
