An intimate lunchtime concert featuring a string quartet: Lucas Monerri (violin), Piotr Kawecki (violin), Robin Lemmel (viola) and Coralie Devars (cello), drawn from the Geneva Chamber Orchestra. The program centers on Franz Schubert’s String Quartet No. 14 in D minor, ‘Death and the Maiden’, its dramatic motifs and lyrical slow movements unfolding in close-up, chamber textures. Expect concentrated interplay, quiet tension and moments of stark intimacy that invite sustained listening.
Jérôme Clément-Wilz’s intimate documentary is a first-person cinematic account of confronting childhood sexual abuse. Years after the violence, the filmmaker files a complaint and carefully retraces a long-buried memory, testing the limits of confession, law, and personal healing. Through close framing and a restrained, sensory lyricism, the film balances restraint and moral urgency, denouncing rape culture while attending to shame, memory, and resilience. It reads as a courageous, textured meditation on truth, the body’s testimony, and the fragile work of reclaiming a self.
In presence of director Jérôme Clément-Wilz. In French.
Fly along on a winged journey that brings birds to life through stories and music. Listen to coos, flutes and calls as a storyteller and musician weave tales from hummingbird to condor. Kids will imagine feathers, feel wind and hear playful rhythms while exploring how birds touch our myths, night, wisdom, love and light. The performance gives animals a voice and invites children to reconnect with other living beings through sound, movement and wonder.
In French. Kids ages 7 and up.
