Mi Mawai and Madzerokai present an immersive audiovisual installation born from a residency exchange between the Brazilian Amazon and Geneva. The work invites immersion in Baniwa cosmology through video, layered soundscapes, flutes, traditional singing and dance. Visitors are invited to lie in hammocks and on mats for contemplative encounters with projected landscapes and ritual sonic textures. The piece foregrounds ancestral knowledge, collective memory and multisensory modes of storytelling.
Walk through an autumn garden as leaves turn red and gold, guided by a horticulturist’s hands-on perspective. The walk follows winding paths and planted beds where soil, bark and late blooms create rich textures and scents, inviting close observation and seasonal reflection. Expect a calm, engaging pace focused on plant care, species choices and the cultivation challenges that shape urban green spaces.
The experience blends sensory detail with expert insight and is conducted in French.
Explore a playful, sensory installation where art, free play and discovery meet. Inspired by cabinets of curiosities and Fluxus, the space invites very young children to transform everyday objects into props for imaginative play. Children manipulate, invent and improvise in an open scenography that promotes experimentation, creativity and an ecological sensibility. The environment encourages sensory discovery, dramatic play and independent exploration in a poetic, living setting.
In French. Kids ages 0 and up.
Join a family storytelling evening that explores voices. Children and caregivers hear playful tales, songs, poems and nonsense led by Compagnie Alsand and mediator Anouck Hoyois. Move to rhythms, try whispering and echoing, and imagine the voices of the future. A temporary exhibition and a small library invite little hands to browse colorful images and books, while short vocal games sharpen listening, spark creativity and unlock silly, surprising sounds.
In French. Kids ages 0 and up.
Presented by FILMAR, this programme of five short films examines near futures and the imaginaries of the human. The films, in French or without dialogue, assemble intimate vignettes that probe everyday life, work, habits, dreams and desires. A restrained, tactile cinematography favors textures, close-ups and quiet rhythms, inviting reflection rather than prediction. The emotional core is a questioning of how we want to live, where memory and longing shape speculative, surprisingly familiar worlds.
