“Submersion Games” by Bryan Campbell at Maison Saint-Gervais is a performance drawing inspiration from the novel Moby Dick. It intertwines themes of eroticism, ecocide violence, and sado-masochistic rituals, delving into the desires and sufferings present in our relationships with work, sexuality, and the natural world. The piece immerses the audience in a maritime experience.
In early January 2022, two construction vehicles belonging to a Swiss multinational were set on fire at a gravel pit in the Geneva countryside. Over a year later, a young man — referred to as Jérémy — was arrested and suspected of involvement in the arson. Held in pre-trial detention, he was released after more than three months, following strong public support and mobilization.
