Don’t just like it, live it!
Autechre’s twentytwentysix tour brings the legendary Warp duo back to Geneva for a rare live performance. Since the late 1980s Rob Brown and Sean Booth have pushed the boundaries of electronic music with an unpredictable approach that blends algorithmic complexity and raw emotion. As principal architects of IDM since Incunabula (1993), they continue to influence the most adventurous artists. Expect dense textures, austere rhythms and immersive, exploratory sound design.
Multidisciplinary artist Carolyn Carlson, a leading figure in contemporary dance, visits the music and movement department for a week of practical workshops and encounters. Participants will investigate movement research, improvisation, and the interplay between sound and gesture through guided sessions and reflective study. The programme includes an evening conversation focused on her oeuvre and a public presentation stemming from the workshop. The series emphasises creative enquiry, somatic awareness and collaborative practice.

Geneva Peace Week returns in 2026 under the new name Forum de la paix de Genève, inviting reflection on how individual and collective choices advance peace. Through interdisciplinary lectures, panels and practical workshops, the programme explores peacebuilding practices, ethical decision-making and civic engagement. Participants will gain analytical tools and concrete approaches for promoting dialogue and non-violent solutions across communities and institutions.

Every October, the Everybody’s Perfect festival unites the arts and cultural exchange to celebrate the expressions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and queer people worldwide.
Through film, the festival aims to raise awareness of LGBTQ+ issues, offer diverse perspectives on the world, promote creativity, and foster meaningful dialogue. Open to all, it makes a significant contribution to the evolution of society and attitudes.
Prof. Karl Hanson joins young Venezuelan delegates from CORENATs and its founder Angel Gonzalez, representatives of a regional coordination of working children and adolescents.
The roundtable examines child labour in Latin America at the crossroads of legal norms, research and lived experience, exploring policy implications, methodological challenges and firsthand perspectives to illuminate rights, protections and children’s agency, and to identify avenues for advocacy and reform.
In French.
Je ne suis pas Johnny is a theatrical exploration of identity, memory and the weight of cultural myth. Combining intimate staging, physical sensitivity and moments of dark humour, the piece unsettles familiar narratives and invites audiences to reconsider how personas are constructed and performed. Sparse lighting and a fluid rhythm shape an intense, close-up experience, where silence and gesture reveal hidden tensions and unexpected tenderness.
Stéphane Brizé’s incisive social drama tracks Carla, a newly hired HR officer tasked with an ambitious employer-branding campaign. Navigating the tension between employee well‑being and corporate performance, she edges toward ethical compromise as institutional pressures mount. Anchored by intimate performances from Alba Rohrwacher and Vincent Lindon, the film favours restrained framing and observational pacing to examine labour, responsibility, and moral erosion. Sparse, tactile visuals and a steady emotional undercurrent render a lucid portrait of power, compromise and the cost of goodwill.

Choreographed by Ela Franscella, MuseOM# presents an itinerant, in situ choreography performed by MOPS DanceSyndrome, a Swiss company of young adults with Down syndrome. Following a five-day museum residency, the dancers trace a ritual-like spiral of movement and testimony that seeks a spiritual dimension beyond pure technique. The piece unfolds as a dialogue between dance and visual arts, with live composition and sound by Michel Thouzeau, creating intimate, resonant atmospheres.

Comme au cinéma! invites a communal, after-dark screening that turns everyday corners into cinematic rooms. The evening favours cozy shared attention: a soft, tactile mise-en-scène of warm light, familiar laughter and the hush before the first frame. Curated for young audiences, the program privileges approachable storytelling, sensory textures and moments of quiet humour. The focus is less on spectacle than on togetherness—how images can fold ordinary evenings into small, memorable narratives.

Directed by Elidan Arzoni, this fiery, hilarious staging of Yasmina Reza’s play follows two couples whose polite attempt to resolve a quarrel between their sons collapses into a savage verbal carnage. Performers Sophie Broustal, Vincent Jacquet, Camille Édith Bouzaglo and Frédéric Landenberg unleash sharp, tightly wound exchanges, while Benoît Delaunay’s scenography and Hervé Broillet’s costumes frame escalating social fractures. Danielle Milovic’s lighting and meticulous stagecraft intensify a darkly comic exploration of civility, hypocrisy and unleashed instincts.

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.
Join authors Laurence Mattet and Helder Da Silva for a friendly signing event centred on their books 4 amis à la recherche du feu perdu and Lola et les mondes cachés.

Everyone is welcome to meet the authors, share impressions, and connect with other community members over a shared love of literature. In partnership with Fondation Musée Barbier-Mueller.
