Choreographer Ugo Dehaes replaces his human troupe with extravagant robot-dancers endowed with an artificial intelligence that invents their own choreography. Intimate and unsettling, the performance invites the audience to sit around a table as the mechanised performers execute an uncanny, rhythmic ballet. Marie Peeters’ dramaturgy frames questions about labour, profit and the place of culture, while Wannes Deneer’s scenography and musical composition shape a tactile, immersive atmosphere. The piece blends humour, critique and physical precision.

Adapted and performed by Felipe Castro, this solo staging probes the absurdity of war, murderous nationalism and the raw misery at the heart of Céline’s writing. Coach José Lillo supports a performance of muscular, visceral language while Natacha Jaquerod’s set, Rinaldo Del Boca’s lighting and Jean Faravel’s sound sculpt stark, claustrophobic atmospheres. The production balances brutal imagery with moments of surprising humanity, revealing the author’s vocation as a doctor through an intimate, relentless theatrical journey.

Events running for an extended period

16 January – 7 March

Beat Zoderer’s first exhibition with lange + pult in Geneva presents a new series of works inspired by the economy of haiku. In these small-format pieces, the artist translates brevity, precision, and tension into the pictorial field through grids and modular patterns. Layered, translucent colors create subtle depth and shifting perceptions, while recurring square motifs generate a restrained yet vibrant rhythm. Rooted in concrete art, the series stands out for its quiet, almost meditative quality, where meaning emerges from the balance between form, color, and visual silence.

Opening on Thursday 15 January, from 18:00.

22 January – 7 March

La Cuisine des Collectionneurs is a convivial, evolving exhibition where contemporary art meets gastronomy. The project invites four collectors to curate walls from their personal collections. It blends scenography, shared collecting, and a collective display, extended into the kitchen through an ephemeral menu inspired by their worlds. Conceived as a living space, the exhibition unfolds with talks, meals, and gatherings over time, celebrating exchange, generosity, and the pleasure of art—on the walls and on the plate.

8 January – 8 March

Winter of Caecilia gathers seven local theatre productions that revisit contemporary and classic forms through monologue and solo performance. Artists such as Nastassja Tanner, Ahmed Belbachir, Roland Vouilloz and Vincent Jacquet offer intimate, visceral interpretations, while texts by playwrights like Fabrice Melquiot are brought to life under directors including Jean‑Yves Ruf. The programme mixes poetic, comic and physically charged pieces that privilege sensory staging and emotional immediacy, inviting audiences into distinct, singular theatrical universes.

In French.

17 September – 7 March

In Soft Gravity, Domum delves into the materiality and sensuality of forms through a multitude of contemporary voices in design and creation. Imagined as a sensitive constellation, the exhibition showcases suspended, fleshy, and sculptural shapes that intertwine. It invites visitors to an experience that balances between fragility and strength, memory and presence.

Opening: Thursday 13 November, 18:00 – 21:00

4 October 2025 – 23 May 2026

The exhibition “Sauvages” at the Cité Library invites visitors to delve into the behind-the-scenes of Claude Barras’s film. It is divided into three sections that cover the ecological and cultural aspects of Borneo, reveal the creative and production processes of the film, and immerse the audience in the filming atmosphere through never-before-seen photos and testimonials. Original documents, drawings, travel journals, sets, and figurines enhance this immersive experience.

28 January – 23 December

This workshop explores the traditional process of assembling a herbarium specimen, inspired by Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s collections. Participants learn scientific techniques for pressing and mounting dried plants on old paper, practice botanical labelling and nomenclature, and select specimens to create a personal herbarium sheet. The session examines preservation methods, identification principles and the historical context of Rousseau’s approach, combining practical skills with scientific insight to produce a lasting botanical object.
