“Dopamine” is an interactive musical comedy about the brain’s reward circuit. It runs at Théâtre le Douze dix-huit in Le Grand-Saconnex from Wednesday 25 to Sunday 29 November 2026.
The story
Théâtre le Douze dix-huit is located in Le Grand-Saconnex, in the canton of Geneva. Its auditorium seats 100. Its 2026–2027 season brings together theatre, young audiences, improvisation, music, comedy and cinema.

What to find
The show takes the form of a theatrical lecture about our brain. It looks at dopamine and the reward circuit, which drives us to always want more. The listing compares it to an adult version of “Inside Out”.
Donatienne Amann and Yvan Richardet perform on stage. Renaud Delay and Jean-Samuel Racine composed the music. Sarah Koller and Manuel Mameli provided scientific input.
The team also includes Lorène Martin for costumes and set design, Léa Beloin for technical work and Alain Borek as outside eye. Laurence Chiri is the educational consultant.
