Don’t just like it, live it!
A season of three classical concerts unfolds at the Temple de Carouge, tracing intimate musical worlds shaped by renowned performers and emerging talent. The first evening brings Fabrizio Chiovetta and Stephane Ginsburgh together for a journey from Budapest to Vienna, with music by Brahms, Bartók, Eötvös and Kurtág. The second concert highlights the prizewinners of the Marescotti-Ville de Carouge scholarship. The final programme offers a family-friendly version of The Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saëns.
German baritone Benjamin Appl presents a programme themed around water and travel with cellist Lionel Cottet and pianist Jorge Viladoms. In three parts he traces a traveller’s trajectory—departure, nocturnal crossing and the solitude that leads to calm—through songs from the German, French and South American repertoire. The recital features works by Schumann, Brahms, Strauss, Mendelssohn, Schubert, Fauré and Villa-Lobos, emphasising narrative singing and chamber intimacy.
Colombian artist Rubén Barrios‑Rodríguez develops an interdisciplinary practice spanning drawing, photography, photo‑performance, video, performance, installation and object-making. In Désirs brutes the male body becomes a territory where desire, eroticism, constraint, vulnerability and resistance intersect. Through homoerotic imagery, naked bodies, masks, harnesses and deliberate references to football, the artist interrogates patriarchal and heteronormative models and the social codes that shape masculine behaviour. The works repurpose sporting objects and rituals to juxtapose traditional notions of virility with fragility, desire, pain and forms of resistance.
Opening: 12 November, 18:00
Choreographer Lenio Kaklea responds to a 2023 commission from Le Commun with a layered performance that transforms Diana Ross’s “I’m Coming Out” into a study of queer visual histories. A preceding video, An Alphabet for the Camera (from Analphabète, 2017), presents a catalogue of danced figures where each phrase functions as a sign. Drawing on queer artists and scenographers, the work traces how collective memory and perception teach us to love the female body through animated, ritualised gestures.
To mark the closing of Pauline Coquart’s exhibition Short Ass Attention Span #3, Debbie Alagen presents her first book, Qu’arrive-t-il aux pigeons morts dans la rue ?, published by the Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève. Written entirely on her phone, between on-the-spot notes and deliberate fiction, the text traces an intimate route through everyday life, gender, and the ordinary violence of cities.
The reading is followed by a conversation between Alagen and Coquart, author of the afterword. In French.

As part of its much-loved Sunday Concert series, the International Menuhin Music Academy, in collaboration with the International Piano Academy Lake Como, invites you to an afternoon of chamber music featuring young soloists from the Menuhin Academy alongside pianist Andrea Molteni.
The programme brings together two masterpieces of the chamber music repertoire: Sergei Prokofiev’s String Quartet No. 1 and Johannes Brahms’s Piano Quintet.
This musical encounter celebrates the shared values of artistic excellence, exchange, and the passing on of musical knowledge that lie at the heart of both academies.
Break dishes, then rebuild them into art. This creative workshop invites kids to explore shape, texture, and surprise as broken pieces meet new forms. They can test ideas, play with materials, and see how fragments can become something new. Inspired by kintsugi, it turns accidents into beauty and imagination into action.
Kids ages 8 and up, accompanied by an adult.
