Imagine a fishing line that bites back: a child catches a golden carp that grants wishes. At first small and kind — a new house, a motorbike, maybe a plane — the wishes grow hungrier and the price becomes clear. This lyrical show blends storytelling, live music and painting on a mirrored tableau, where watercolours and inks move with the words and sounds to spark imagination and raise questions about our desires and fragile aquatic worlds.
In French. Kids ages 4 and up.
Explore a lively world of stories and music in this collective storytelling performance. Four storytellers and a musician weave myths, fables and observational tales that celebrate life’s diversity.

Animatou is the leading animation film festival in French-speaking Switzerland, dedicated to showcasing the best of contemporary animated cinema and championing bold, author-driven works that rarely find space in traditional theatres.

With a strong commitment to education and year-round activities for schools and the wider public, Animatou has become a key platform for animation in Geneva and beyond.
Follow the tiny princess found inside a glowing bamboo as she grows into Kaguya Hime, a young woman of extraordinary beauty. Through expressive dance and clear physical storytelling, children witness her adventures, feel a kaleidoscope of emotions, and explore themes of belonging, difference and what it means to be an outsider. Poetic movement, gentle wonder and a touch of melancholy create a tender experience that encourages empathy and sparks the imagination.
Kids ages 4 and up.
Climb, play and explore themed games that introduce kids to basic bouldering. Children move across colorful routes, feel the rough holds, and practice balance, jumps and gentle problem-solving through playful challenges. Instructors guide simple techniques, spotting and cheering as little climbers try new moves.

Kids ages 5–10.
Jump into playful electronic sound labs where kids discover and shape music and visuals. In two hands-on workshops, children explore “Glitch Musique” by building rhythms, twisting sounds and feeling digital textures. In “Dessine le Son” they turn melodies into color, shape and material through drawing and collage. Expect crackling beats, bright splashes of color and moving images. Short experiments invite curiosity, creativity and shared discovery.
In French. Kids ages 0–11.
Step into Euphonia, an interactive sound installation inspired by Hector Berlioz’s tale Euphonia ou La Ville musicale. Here you don’t just listen: you blow, build, play, probe and invent together. Along the route you create your own instrument before exploring a vast participatory organ. Sounds circulate, answer each other and meet to form a collective composition. No musical training is required — a playful sonic adventure to share with family.
In French. Kids ages 4 and up.
