Directed by Valeria Bertolotto, Faire Hamlet! stages a company wrestling with performance and truth as rehearsals of Shakespeare’s prince unravel private tensions. Pierre Banderet, Dylan Poletti and an intergenerational ensemble confront doubt, jealousy and shifting identities while Angèle Colas provides artistic collaboration. Sound by Fred Jarabo, scenography by Fanny Courvoisier, lights by Alessandra Domingues and costumes by Eléonore Cassaigneau shape an intimate, unstable world where fiction bleeds into life.

In French.

15 – 19 July

Step into soft tents filled with gentle sounds and bright colors. Little ones touch, listen, and play through sensory corners, simple creative workshops, short musical stories, and tiny circus games. Families explore textures, make easy crafts, hear short tales, and move with friendly rhythms. Activities are paced for toddlers, encouraging curiosity, calm discovery, and shared smiles in a cozy, playful space.

In French. Kids ages 0–4.

7 – 20 July

Charlotte Qin and Tessel van der Putte present an exhibition of porcelain installation and paintings that treats water as both element and metaphor. Curated by Frédéric Elkaïm, the works shift the focus from control and extraction toward ecological, emotional and feminine inquiry. A central porcelain installation evokes aquatic creatures and the fluid forms of coral and blossom, while paintings explore the body as a permeable landscape, probing materiality, vulnerability and collective care.

Opening: Thursday 7 July, 18:00 – Performance of Charlotte Qin

21 May – 19 September

Featuring pieces by Faye Toogood, Studiopepe, Domingos Totora and Clément Thévenot, DOMUM invites you to discover their new exhibition, taking inspiration from food shapes and colors: Bread&Butter.

Opening: Thursday 21 May at 18:00

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

Awarded the Prix de la Fondation pour Genève in recognition of a lifetime dedicated to the city, Ivan Pictet embodies Geneva's civic spirit. Banker, philanthropist, and longtime champion of International Geneva, his remarkable journey has been shaped by curiosity, humility, and a commitment to bringing people together.
The office is not what you expect. Tucked in the attic of an old building in Eaux-Vives, it is a little haven of plants, natural light, and rustic beams. This is where Lara Mai Vo Van, her co-founder Pascale Clemann, and their small team spend most of the year building the Geneva Street Food Festival, which for eleven days each summer takes over the Plaine de Plainpalais and draws over a hundred thousand people together over food.
