Don’t just like it, live it!

14 – 25 October

Françoise Deladoëy assembles cut-and-paste collages combining watercolor, graphite and mixed media to probe contemporary upheavals and imagine alternative possibilities.
Using images and fragments sourced from the press, she composes visual landscapes where disparate realities collide and metamorphose. The works fuse the living and the mechanical, beauty and unease, highlighting environmental crisis, technological shifts and resource exhaustion. Collage becomes a transformative method that both records fragmentation and opens an imaginative space where new narratives, spiritual questions and other forms of coexistence might be envisioned.

Opening: 18 October, 18:00

15 – 23 October

An energetic evening of spontaneous theatre, the 32nd Mondial d’Improvisation brings together agile improvisers who craft scenes and characters on the spot. The ensemble explores rapid storytelling, sharp comic timing and emotional risk, playing with form and audience suggestion. Staging favors minimal props and a nimble ensemble dynamic, producing a vibrant, unpredictable atmosphere where creativity and collaboration drive every moment.

In French.

7 – 18 October

Echo Chamber is an immersive, interactive and participatory exhibition that probes self-image and perception. Housed in a contained space, it stages a sequence of installations and collaborative artworks that invite visitors to engage, modify and reflect on representations of identity. The show extends into a virtual environment, using audiovisual and sensor-driven elements to examine how images circulate, transform and are interpreted—raising questions about gaze, agency and consent in contemporary visual culture.

12 – 24 October

Yasuka Ishikawa, founder of Midnight Blossom, invites you to discover “Nos Kimonos” (Our Kimonos), an exhibition that presents the kimono in a new light: not as a static museum piece, but as a living garment worn in everyday life in Geneva.

Opening: Thursday, October 15 at 17:00, with a kitsuke (traditional Japanese dressing) demonstration at 18:30, and refreshments provided by small Geneva-based businesses dedicated to showcasing authentic Japan.

The exhibition is part of the “L’Automne de la culture japonaise 2026” program, supported by the Consulate of Japan in Geneva.

Sunday 18 October, 17:00

Led by conductor Frédéric Théodoloz, the Brass Band Arquebuse Genève presents a benefit programme juxtaposing the sombre textures of Shostakovich with Mendelssohn’s lyrical clarity, featuring soloist Kevin Buchard, and the pictorial sweep of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. The band’s brass sonorities and precise rhythmic drive transform orchestral colours into a vivid soundscape, alternating intimate murmurs and brilliant fanfares. The evening unfolds as a cinematic journey, balancing muscular power with moments of surprising intimacy. Concert in favor of diabète genève.

Sunday 18 October, 11:00

Adapted from the score of Kurt Weill and text by Bertolt Brecht, this condensed staging presents Véronique Valdès (mezzo-soprano), Françoise Courvoisier (narrator) and Nicolas Le Roy (piano) in a tense, music-theatre portrait of exile and commerce. Two sisters named Anna traverse an America at once real and imagined, probing the divide between performance and personhood. The text is concise and often provocative; the score remains intoxicatingly beautiful, its haunting melodies framed here by a focused chamber staging. Presented by Les Amis musiquethéâtre.
