Eugénie Rebetez - Comeback

Comeback marks the return of Eugénie Rebetez to the stage as a soloist, showcasing the native Jurassian more mature and daring than ever.

In her new solo piece, the extraordinary dancer and versatile comedian skillfully oscillates between poetry and comedy, sensitivity and rock 'n' roll. On one hand, she creates a character brimming with exuberance, while on the other, she continually returns to herself.

What unfolds is a play of ambivalence: she wants everything but cannot bear the abundance; she clings to her values only to suddenly abandon them; she longs for the carefree spirit of her youth but takes on increasing responsibility. It is a game of forward momentum, full of searching and experimentation.

For this new piece, Eugénie Rebetez has composed a score of sung and danced stories drawn from her own life. Comeback is a spectacular one-woman show that strikes both subtle and bold notes, approaching hope — the hope embedded in every return — with sharp, witty insight.

The play is in German, Swiss German and French. The languages are quite important. If someone only speaks English, the understanding and experience would not be ideal.
