Don’t just like it, live it!
Aldo Locatelli presents a diverse body of work spanning decades, rooted in experimentation and improvisation.
Paintings in oil, mixed-media pieces, ink drawings, sculptures, floral assemblages under plexiglas and repurposed objects converse through a tactile visual language. His practice moves between abstraction and figuration, privileging matter, color and gestural mark-making to explore observation, the living world and unexpected material affinities. The show reveals a restless creativity driven by curiosity, collage-like associations and continual recomposition.
Opening: Wednesday, 16 September, 18:00
Closing event: Sunday, 27 September, 17:00
Written by Stéphane Bouquet, Six heures plus tard is an intimate stage performance for two performers that explores the fragile bonds between a man and a woman through poetic text, live-filmed images, spare lighting and pared-down stage presence. The piece treats silence as a shared, collective resource and recomposes itself according to each venue’s architecture and the state of the bodies, creating an unusual proximity and contemplative atmosphere.

Festival des 5 Continents presents a curated panorama of world cinema: competitive and out-of-competition films, special screenings and a section for emerging voices. The programme highlights auteur cinema, daring narratives and diverse perspectives, favouring bold visual styles and intimate storytelling. Through screenings, talks and encounters, the festival offers a space to discover new talents and reassess cinematic traditions, celebrating cross-cultural dialogues and the emotional power of film.
Presented by Creative BPM, Tremplin Mouvement gathers emerging female choreographers and dancers from street and clubbing cultures to present short, 15-minute works. The evening showcases experimental approaches to movement, rhythm and club aesthetics, foregrounding techniques drawn from Afro‑diasporic popular cultures. Intimate and kinetic, the programme favors testing new forms, bold improvisation and visceral staging, offering snapshots of a vibrant, evolving scene and a platform for practices often underrepresented in Geneva.
Explore the hidden network of small military forts along the Versoix, open for public visits. Walk through earthworks, bunkers and observation posts and experience the rugged riverside terrain. A new escape game, “Sur les traces des fortins”, invites participants to solve puzzles on site; duration about one hour. The outdoor route includes uneven paths and steps; sturdy footwear recommended. Accessible to all audiences and perfect for families and history enthusiasts; prefer public transport to reach the sites.
Photographer Jörg Brockmann and ceramist Youlichka Fioramonti present a joint exhibition that transposes the human body onto porcelain through cyanotype processes. Brockmann’s images are photographed and printed onto film, then transferred onto light-sensitive porcelain plates before firing. Fioramonti’s ceramic practice engages this material translation, emphasizing the interplay of light, chemistry and fire. The works probe material transformation, the role of chance within analogue techniques and a dialogue between photographic form and crafted surface.
Explore how vegetables grow and where our food begins. Dig into rich, living soil and feel its warmth and smell. Plant, touch, and watch tiny seeds push up colorful leaves. Learn why the soil is magical and how caring for the earth and animals helps produce healthy food. Hear birds, see bright greens, and taste fresh farm flavors at a shared midday meal. Join a hands-on adventure full of discovery and simple wonders.
In French. Kids ages from 6 to 12.
