Born in Sardinia, pianist Emanuelle Meloni trained at the conservatories of Cagliari and Rome and completed advanced studies in performance and pedagogy at the Haute école de musique de Genève. Her artistic development, shaped by masters and a close artistic rapport with Bruno Mezzena, informs her nuanced repertoire and expressive touch. A prizewinner in numerous competitions, she appears regularly as a soloist and balances concert activity with dedicated piano teaching in the Geneva region.
Traktor presents an intimate evening with a lean trio: Brooks Giger (double bass), Anthony Dietrich Buclin (trombone) and Dominic Egli (drums). The set foregrounds close musical conversation, contrasting lyrical lines with rhythmic immediacy and open textures. The musicians navigate between composed motifs and spontaneous interaction, creating moments of tension and release in a concentrated, exploratory format. The performance is presented with the support of a local association offering the performance space free of charge.
Xavier Guelfi presents an intimate solo performance in which he embodies a clumsy, naive coach of happiness. Raised near Onex and known for film and stage roles, Guelfi greets the audience from a kitchen transformed into a timeless cocoon. With poetic physicality and Arlequin-like charm, he mixes gentle humour and existential reflection, inviting the public to dream and to reclaim faith in humanity. A suspended, comforting utopia that soothes and amuses.

Told as a solo performance, this piece follows a woman as she remembers the films that shaped her life and blurs the line between cinema and memory. Through references to science-fiction sagas and cinematic archetypes — the woman-soldier, the survivor, the reluctant mother — the show probes identity, fear of change and the ways stories migrate from screen to skin. Sparse staging and intimate narration create a haunting, introspective atmosphere.

Quinceañeras is a durational performance created and performed by Colombian artists Estefanía and Luisa, who examine the ambivalence of the quinceañera ritual. Combining movement, symbolic staging and intimate scenography, the piece interrogates colonial legacies and the boundaries of gendered rites of passage. Through choreography and poetic gestures they transform ritual into acts of resistance and self-affirmation, proposing new modes of feminine representation and collective memory within contemporary performance.
MIKI writes, films and sings with a sharp, candid voice, crafting a hybrid pop that balances nervous energy and intimate detail. Her performance mixes absurd vignettes and tender moments, delivered with an ironic distance that keeps listeners off‑balance. She stages songs like short films, letting onstage gestures and lo-fi visuals punctuate the music. Revealed at Voix de Fête 2025, MIKI’s show feels immediate and unvarnished, alternating between playful chaos and fragile honesty.
At the crossroads of theatre, mixed reality and technological installation, this immersive performance invites audiences to test the machine built by a scientist to tackle existential problems. Wearing mixed-reality headsets, spectators collectively explore the chaotic inner world of a person trapped by indecision. The experience moves between human vulnerability and artificial intelligence, until the machine itself begins to falter in the face of what it cannot fully understand.
