After Amadou’s death, Mariam’s voice has acquired a new depth. Born in Bamako, she met Amadou at the Institut des jeunes aveugles, and together they formed a long-standing artistic duo that produced songs now part of the collective memory, from «Je pense à toi» to «Beaux Dimanches». On stage with her musicians, Mariam keeps their heritage alive while presenting material from her recent album L’Amour à la folie, creating a luminous and sensitive celebration.
Balades Théâtralisées invites audiences on an outdoor theatrical promenade that uncovers hidden city histories through staged scenes in natural settings. The troupe blends guided narration with short dramatic tableaux, favouring emotional resonance over strict historical reenactment. Soundscapes and simple lighting sculpt nocturnal and intimate atmospheres, while performers shift between storytelling and embodiment. The route alternates between the company’s traditional itinerary and a new underground-themed walk, creating a layered experience of memory, surprise and communal discovery.

Cirque Knie presents a family-oriented, large-scale circus spectacle combining athletic acrobatics, equestrian artistry and choreographed variety numbers. The programme balances fast-paced technical acts and poetic interludes, with careful staging, lighting and live musical accompaniment to create moments of wonder and humour. Suitable for children from four years upwards, the show prioritises accessibility and comfort while offering an immersive, theatrical atmosphere that blends tradition and contemporary circus aesthetics.
Raed Yassin presents Eternal Ghost, a solo project blending analogue synths, electronics and voice into a hypnotic, immersive and evolving sonic performance. Yassin sculpts dense textures and shifting atmospheres that oscillate between minimalism and moments of catharsis. The evening also features a specially curated DJ set by Passage de Disques (CyrilBongoJoe & Fuxy Lady), offering complementary rhythmic and vinyl-driven explorations that extend the event’s nocturnal sound world.
Scène Vagabonde’s seventh edition brings a compact program of contemporary theatre and music, presenting three contrasting stage works — “Par le bout du nez”, “Quadrille” and “Prima facie” — alongside a concert by Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp as part of La Bâtie-Festival de Genève. Across intimate stagings the festival favors inventive direction, close ensemble interplay and a balance of wit and intensity, offering encounters that privilege physical presence, tonal variety and rigorous dramaturgy.
Choreographed by Saša Asentić, Le Sacre du printemps is a reimagined Stravinsky landmark performed by the inclusive company Per.Art. Drawing on historical versions by the Ballets Russes, Maurice Béjart and Pina Bausch and enriched with the voices of disabled poets from Serbia, Iran, Ukraine and the United States, the seven dancers invert the original narrative. The staging transforms ritual into a manifesto of survival, blending physical rigor, collective solidarity and poetic testimony to renew the score as a cry for life.
Roomful of Teeth, an American vocal ensemble celebrated with multiple Grammy Awards, transforms the voice into a versatile, multi‑modal instrument. Eight singers combine virtuosic technique and exploratory spirit to present two complementary works: Gabriel Kahane’s Elevator Songs, a suite of musical narratives sketching a mosaic of lives and eras, and Caroline Shaw’s Partita for 8 Voices, a landmark score where timbres collide and cohere. The programme balances collective precision and individual freedom, moving between humour, fragility, memory and astonishment.
