Festival Electron – BAR TO BAR

An opening-night parcours conceived within Festival Electron, BAR TO BAR assembles sixteen artists and collectives from Grand Genève into a roaming electronic circuit across the city. Each bar functions as a musical node with its own sonic identity, while artists generate contrasting textures that pulse through the crowd. An interactive map frames the route as an artwork, shaping the nocturnal flow and revealing connections between scenes. The project emphasises collaboration, shared authorship and the civic resonance of local electronic culture.

Geneva’s Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp offers a nomadic musical odyssey that blends fervent rhythms, sonic experimentation and a spirit of freedom. For nearly twenty years the collective has shaped a distinctive sound: layered voices, interweaving textures and songs that confront the present without succumbing to despair. Carried by an impressive constellation of brass, strings, percussion, marimbas and guitars, more than fifteen musicians create generous, mobile and intensely alive music that moves between communal celebration and joyful escape.

3 – 6 September

Performed and directed by Eve Aouizerate, this incisive solo creation blends autofiction and faux stand-up to turn fairy-tale promises into a sharp satire. Using humour and precise stagecraft, Aouizerate interrogates reactionary online imaginaries and the contemporary allure of tradwives, exposing tensions between domestic idealisation and feminist inheritance. The piece mixes intimate confession, comic timing and critical observation to probe identity, boredom and the pressures shaping women’s lives.

3 – 6 September

Directed by Aurélia Lüscher, Au Grand Passage stages a tender and questioning dialogue with her paternal grandmother and the spectral traces that linger among the living. Combining documentary inquiry and poetic dramaturgy, Lüscher conjures the voices of those who engage with the beyond amid a wax and mist décor that blurs visible and invisible. Drawing on readings like Magali Molinié and Vinciane Despret, the piece explores what cannot be resolved, using theatre’s spectral dimension to imagine passage between forms.
