Touch fabrics, see bold shapes and try simple brush strokes. Then paint your own piece of fabric, mixing colors and feeling the texture with your hands. The session sparks curiosity and creativity through color, touch and movement, inviting little artists to experiment and make something they can proudly show.

In French. Kids ages 2–4.

Saturday 9 May, 14:00

Saturday 9 May, 21:00

Théo Duboule (guitar, compositions), Noé Tavelli (drums, compositions) and Bänz Oester (double bass) form a daring Swiss jazz trio whose music blends Coltrane- and Hendrix-inspired improvisation with Afro-descendant rhythms. Their playing balances fiery energy and a taste for risk, moving between spacious lyricism and intense collective drive. Having impressed with Street Sight (Hout Records, 2022), they continue to expand their sound on the new album Isobar, recorded with Matthieu Michel, seeking a grounded yet intense expression.

6 – 17 May

Antoine Piron-Meyer (Agni) presents paintings alongside archival documents and publications that trace his singular artistic trajectory. Combining realism, poetic imagery and rich imagination, his canvases evoke mythic, often Bosch-inspired narratives while archival photographs and documents illuminate his mural and public-art engagements and teaching practice.
The exhibition balances intimate studio works with documentary materials to reveal how historical references, urban interventions and pedagogical commitments shaped a multifaceted practice. Curated by his niece Anouk‑Eva Meyer, it invites reflection on artistic continuity and urban cultural history.

7 – 16 May

Faites l’apéro pas la guerre invites audiences into a compact, provocative performance that blends satire, music and physical theatre to examine conviviality and conflict in contemporary life. The staging favors intimate gestures, rhythmic pacing and inventive use of space to create moments that oscillate between humour and unease. The production foregrounds ensemble interplay and sensory detail, offering a thoughtful, often playful reflection on how social rituals mask deeper tensions.

Saturday 9 May, 20:00

Led by conductor Gonzalo Martinez, La Chapelle vocale de Lausanne joins the Ensemble baroque du Léman to present Bach’s Mass in B minor. Soloists Camille Allérat and Marine Margot (sopranos), Rodrigo Sosa dal Pozzo (alto), Davy Cornillot (tenor) and Samuel Moreno (bass) shape a luminous vocal tapestry. Drawing together movements written across Bach’s life, the performance balances architectural counterpoint and intimate devotional moments, where baroque phrasing, instrumental color and choir coalesce into a profound, testament-like expression of spiritual intensity.

Celebrating Geneva’s vibrant heartbeat and the stories shaping culture today

Writer, interviewer, collector of conversations. Alain Elkann has sat across from presidents, cardinals, artists, and Nobel Prize winners — thousands of conversations spanning decades — and never once posed a question he wasn't willing to abandon. I met him at his home in Geneva to talk a bit about everything: the craft of the interview, the future of books, why common sense might be the most underrated virtue of our time, and the advice that has stayed with him since childhood.
Chef Florian Le Bouhec shares his favorite Geneva spots — from his go-to café for inspiration to the cultural discoveries that spark his creativity.
