Festival Histoire et Cité: Magicus and the Sleepwalkers

{"title":"Festival Histoire et Cit\u00e9: Magicus and the Sleepwalkers","description":"Through the figure of Professor Magicus, this performance reconstructs early 20th-century Geneva: a conjurer who opened a magic shop, founded the first French magic magazine and, in 1925, died on stage during the trick called \u00abLe sac \u00e0 l'\u0153uf\u00bb. The narrative blends archives and fairground attractions, recalling 4,924 tricks shared open-source and a city shaped into the cradle of modern magic. Direction, set, costume, lighting and sound design weave nostalgia and unease, oscillating between spectacle and memory.\r\n\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003EIn French.\u003C\/strong\u003E","start_date":"2026-03-27","end_date":"2026-03-27","date":"Friday 27 March, 18:30","timings":[{"timing_start_date":"20260327T183000Z","timing_end_date":"20260327T193000Z"}]}
