Featuring harpist Julie Campiche, this musical-vegetal immersion traces how the urban forests around Geneva have shaped local soundscapes. Combining live harp, recorded sounds, video fragments and spoken stories, the performance moves between delicate textures and untamed echoes, evoking roots, caves and rivers that feed musical imagination. Presented in conjunction with the exhibition SAUVAGES by Claude Barras, it offers a contemplative, sensory journey that blends ecological memory with intimate live music.

NoOPS leads this first « tech‑nostalgique » workshop, bringing a practical approach to smartphone dismantling and component recovery within the series.
