Don’t just like it, live it!
Led by conductor Dominique Tille, the Geneva Brass quintet joins forces with the all-female vocal ensemble Callirhoé in a programme that foregrounds the dialogue between voices and brass. The quintet acts as a “second choir”, extending vocal lines and expanding the ensemble’s sonic palette. Repertoire moves from luminous Bruckner passages to daring contemporary works, alternating lush harmonies and incisive brass colour. The result is an intimate yet powerful soundscape that highlights timbre, blend and expressive contrast.
In Traversée, Clothilde Gosset invites viewers into a poetic journey through movement, memory, and transformation. Through delicate installations and immersive visual compositions, the exhibition explores the idea of passage — between spaces, emotions, and states of being. Blending organic materials, light, and subtle textures, Gosset creates contemplative environments that evoke both inner landscapes and physical crossings. Her work encourages a slow and sensitive experience, where fragility, silence, and perception become central elements of the encounter.
Opening: 3 June, 18:00
Annick Louis, a Franco-Argentine academic, and Félix Terrones, professor at the Institute of Hispanic Language and Literature (Universität Bern), bring scholarly expertise in Hispanic studies and literary criticism.
This lecture examines the elements of Borges’s writing that fascinate scholars and engage general readers, investigating his narrative strategies, themes of identity and labyrinthine structure, and the legacy he left for subsequent authors and literary movements.
In French.
Directed by Serge Postigo, this musical adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’s masterpiece follows Edmond Dantès from betrayal and imprisonment to reinvention as the Count of Monte-Cristo. Starring Gjon’s Tears and Philipinne Lavrey with a company of over twenty performers, the production blends sweeping songs, dynamic choreography and bold scenic design to explore themes of love, loss and calculated revenge. Intense, theatrical and emotionally charged, the show foregrounds strong vocal performances and cinematic staging.
In French.
Alberto Manguel, Argentine-Canadian writer, essayist and former director of the National Library of Argentina, is known for A History of Reading and Reader of Borges; his work examines reading, libraries and literary imagination.
He will discuss Borges’s biographical dimension and its links to his poetics, examining how reading shaped Borges’s creativity—from childhood encounters in his father’s library to his later practice of reading through others. The lecture explores themes of memory, translation, textual transformation and the reader’s role.
In French.
Laugh along as Bricolo, a zany inventor, brings his wild machines to life on screen. Short films follow his startling ideas — a grafting trick to chase away mice, non-slip banana skins, and self-dancing shoes — with playful gadgets, clanking gears and slapstick movements. A live pianist adds tinkling music and rhythm to the moving pictures. Children will watch, wonder, and imagine new contraptions while enjoying sounds, colors and comic motion.
With the pianist Nicolas Hafner – Kids ages 6 and up.
Ana Carolina Sargenti presents drawings, paintings and sculptural elements that examine the processes used to identify people who disappeared during Argentina’s last dictatorship.
Using charcoal portraiture, engraved layers of earth, watercolour impressions and plaster forms, her practice navigates appearance and erasure. Works range from material excavations to subtle removals of surface—charcoal portraits created by subtracting from black reserves, and landscapes shaped from layered earth—probing memory, territory, disappearance and the reconstruction of collective traces.
