Fabrice Gorgerat presents Le Corps de Claudine (Claudine’s Body) at the Maison Saint-Gervais in Geneva. The play runs from Wednesday 9 to Saturday 12 December 2026.
The story
The play draws on Claudine, Fabrice Gorgerat’s mother. She lives in a 1970s Swiss villa.
Claudine has lived with Parkinson’s disease for about twenty years. The play links it to pesticides from her post-war childhood.
Fabrice Gorgerat is a Lausanne-based director trained at INSAS in Brussels. He founded the Compagnie Jours tranquilles in 1994.
His works include Médée-Fukushima, Emma, Au matin (In the Morning) and Chienne (She-Dog). Chienne was staged at Saint-Gervais in 2024.
A book accompanies the show. It is titled Maman est une cyborg de la classe moyenne (Mum Is a Middle-Class Cyborg).
Who organises it
The Cie Jours tranquilles produces the show. La Grange-Unil in Lausanne and the Maison Saint-Gervais are co-producers.
It is supported by the City of Lausanne, the State of Vaud, the Loterie romande, the Fondation Leenaards and the Ernst Göhner Foundation.
What to find
Three performers explore Claudine’s body. Fiamma Camesi, Joëlle Fontannaz and Christophe Jaquet are on stage.
They struggle with everyday gestures in a shrinking space. The play also evokes an ageing and fragile Europe.
Music is by Simone Aubert. Wendy Gaze designed the set.
