“Puppets only have fun children and people.” We can read this sentence of George Sand on the walls of the Swiss Museum of the Puppet, in Friborg, not far from the creations of its founder, the painter, sculptor and creator of puppets Jean Bindsdler. Today, the museum’s collection has Swiss puppets, of course, but also around the world, Chinese, Indonesian, South African, South American and European. All kinds of game techniques and various sets are there. The opportunity to meet the characters of thousands of stories. E. MR

Spectacle
A Storm of Shakespeare on the side of the caliban slave. In his staging, Omar Porras invites to this reversal of perspective. It is the son of the witch Sycorax, the slave of Prospero Le Mage, who awakens the island and his lifelong demons. Seconded by his playwright Marco Sabbatini, the Colombo-Suisse artist signs a spectacle bathed in the black water of the tales, served by magnificent performers, starting with Karl Eberhard in the role of Prospero and Jeanne Pasquier in that of the Ariel spirit. Despite painful conditions of creation, this Storm looks like. A. Df
“The storm or the voice of the wind”. Balance, me 7 and I May 8 at 8 p.m.
Geneva
Spectacles
Katthe eternal feedback. It is undoubtedly the most loved spectacle of the wolf theater in Geneva, and it is deserved. Because, in his two adaptations for the scene dating from 1984 and 1992 (with resumption in 2003), Eric Jeanmonod managed to give a crazy presence to the characters of the legendary comic strip of George Herriman. Or how a love triangle between a cat, a mouse (yes, yes, a mouse) and a police dog lives frenzied episodes with steep bricks and falling walls. The founder of the wolf and his collective perfectly restore the mixture of scorching humor, melancholy and modesty of the designer. As Eric Jeanmonod and Rossella Riccaboni give in the wolf theater to their successors, this re-creation is more than a tribute, it’s a gift! M.-P. G.
“Krazy Kat Iz back”. Theater of the Loup, from May 6 to 25.
Tell that chocolate, so constituting our national pride and so sweet to our palaces, has a much more bitter story marked by “colonial slavery, exploitation and oppression”. And to say that this violence is still continuing today in the unreasonable trade in raw materials. With Shock! The treat of the gods Who was created two years ago and has already shot a lot in Switzerland, Dominique Ziegler continues to instruct the trial of a global imbalance in terms of resources and exchanges. This salutary show is to be seen in Geneva on Tuesday. M.-P. G.
“Shock! The treat of the gods ”. Théâtre du Grütli, from May 6 to May 18.

Spectacle
Bernarda Alba, the sixties, is a mourning woman. Widowed for the second time, this Andalusian decides to shut himself up, with her daughters, in an eight -year mourning. Cloistered in the family home, all these little people soon ended up plagued by rivalries and lusts … The final work of the Spanish poet and playwright Federico Garcia Lorca, published nine years after his assassination by Franquis militias in 1945, The House of Bernarda Dawn tells the customs of an era and the female condition, between trousseaux and secrets, desires and liberticides traditions. The troop of young people, fresh and talented product of the optional courses of public schools, seizes this classic under the leadership of the director Nicolas Steullet. There is no doubt that they will reset this crazy bite patriarchy. V. N.

Valais
Spectacle
The choir, in its purest definition: it is this communion, this collective architecture specific to popular dances and choirs that the new creation of the Cocoondance company, Choreia. The title, taken from the Greek, precisely evokes this moment when, traditionally, music, dance, song and art of declamation were made a unique and collective work. A “polyballet” carried by the Swiss choreographer Rafaële Giovanola and his eight dancers, accompanied by a DJ, where the voice becomes a link between the bodies. Note that to celebrate this joyful polyphony, the representation of May 9 will be followed by a party open to the public. V. N.
“Choreia – a polyballet”. Monthey, the Théâtre du Crochetan, I 8, VE 9 at 8 p.m., and its May 10 at 7 p.m.

Musique
The small room of the breach, newly opened in Lausanne below the Romandie, will turn into a miniature dancefloor with the arrival of Tioklu, the French Théo Cloux au Civil, which tinker with a pop lo-fi flirting beautifully with disco and electro to produce melodies sometimes skillfully destructured, but always highly addictive. Evoking in Inrocks his latest recording, The Electric Souphe has fun overthrowing the clichés: “It’s a bit of the album of immaturity.” S. G.
TIOKLU. Lausanne, La Brèche, I May 8 at 8:30 p.m. with a man in the first part.
