Doully: « Hier j’arrête ! »

Performances

BFM

After two sold-out performances in Switzerland in 2024, the unique comedian returns to the stage in Geneva for a special show at BFM. Known for her punk presenting style and as a chronicler on France Inter, Doully masters the art of stand-up by sharing her incredible and humorous life story—from former junkie to go-go dancer, bartender, toilet attendant, porn voice-over artist, fashion designer, and French teacher in Spain. Co-written with Blanche Gardin and Paco Perez, this performance promises sharp wit and laughter, with no intermission.

Hominal

Performances

La Comédie de Genève

In this performance, Marie-Caroline Hominal, dressed in shimmering jeans, moves through a fantastical world dominated by a pink set designed by her brother, artist David Hominal. The stage features large panels with changing textures, fleeting tones, and repetitive patterns, onto which the dancer projects her shadow, stories, dreams, and doubts. Marie-Caroline plays with repetition, collage, and formal gestures, creating a sense of distance, self-deprecation, and reflection. This is the third time Marie-Caroline has invited an artist to collaborate with her, and for this piece, she works alongside her brother to merge their artistic practices, exploring the intersection of their respective aesthetic universes.
