Choreographed by Tidiani N’Diaye, this urban parade is a collective moving performance that links choreography and civic engagement. Performers and participants wear costumes fashioned from colourful single-use plastic bags, a striking symbol of consumption’s excess and global imbalance. The work traces themes of North–South interconnection, climate and social justice, weaving ritual, rhythmic procession and communal singing into a vibrant public tableau. Created in collaboration with the Fédération genevoise de coopération for its 60th anniversary and Shap Shap, the parade is celebratory and questioning.
Celebrate cycling with hands-on fun for the whole family. Kids try playful balance and agility courses, a pumptrack, face painting, slides and interactive stands that showcase biking skills and safe mobility.

Activities encourage discovery, movement and confidence through colourful, active learning.
