In resonance with the pulses and rhythms of the Kósmos! programme, the workshop offers a direct, intuitive way to inhabit Mediterranean and Near Eastern musical material through inner impulse and corporeal vibration.

Opening event : “L’énigme du Boulevard”

Lectures & Workshops

Librairie du Boulevard

Illustrator Zazie Zanie, with writers Éric Burnand and Hadrien Burnand, presents an illustrated narrative that uses sequential art and lively drawing to stage a rocambolesque investigation.
The comic retraces five decades of a local independent bookstore and Geneva’s militant cultural life, weaving archival echoes with fictionalised episodes. Through rich panels, dialogue and visual detail, the work explores collective memory, self‑management, and the circulation of literature and critical thought. It reveals how small cultural institutions anchor political commitment and communal narratives.
