Théâtre Le Poche presents Le Poche Cabaret II, Le Chant des Bruants Fous (The Song of the Mad Buntings), directed by Lou Ciszewski. It runs in Geneva from Thursday 3 to Sunday 20 December 2026.
The story
The text is co-written by Arthur Brügger, Lou Ciszewski, Douna Loup and Daniel Vuataz. Lou Ciszewski uses the conventions of cabaret to create a form between fiction and tradition.
The Fondation Jan Michalski pour l'écriture et la littérature supports the production.
Le Poche was run by Martine Paschoud from 1984 to 1996, then by Françoise Courvoisier from 2003 to 2015. Mathieu Bertholet has led it since 2015.
Who organises it
Théâtre Le Poche, also known as POCHE /GVE, produces the show.
What to find
On a deserted beach, three women search for a buried box. It is said to hold the secrets of the Bruant Fou, a summer cabaret that closed thirty years ago.
Françoise Paca Gautier, Liv Van Thuyne and Pascale Vachoux play Camille, Sacha and Arlette. Léon Boesch, Alexis Gfeller and Léonie Valenza play the music live.
A writing workshop takes place on Sunday 6 December at 1.30 pm. A talk with the company follows the performance on Thursday 10 December.
