Cyrano de Bergerac

Performances

La Comédie de Genève

Lola Giouse’s production of Edmond Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac reinvents the classic play with a fresh, contemporary perspective, using live music, an all-female cast, and a queer, feminist lens to explore the love triangle between Cyrano, Roxane, and Christian. By moving beyond the traditional portrayal of the play as a showcase for a single actor, Giouse reclaims the text, infusing it with new meaning while addressing contemporary utopias. Drawing from her own experience as a young actress who once played Cyrano, she offers a joyful and collective reinterpretation that invites the cast and audience to explore multiple identities and declare their love freely.

La Tempête ou la Voix du Vent

Performances

Théâtre de Carouge

In La Tempête ou la Voix du Vent, Shakespeare’s tale unfolds with a storm that shipwrecks King Alonso and his son Ferdinand on a mystical island inhabited by the monstrous Caliban and the ethereal Ariel. Prospero, a sorcerer and exiled Duke of Milan, plots revenge while orchestrating Ferdinand’s love for his daughter Miranda. Through reality and fantasy, malice and drama, Shakespeare’s final play offers both magic and truth. Director Omar Porras brings a fresh perspective, channeling its elemental and theatrical power in a profound, unexpected union.

Based on William Shakespeare, directed by Omar Porras.
