La Cour des Contes is a storytelling festival held each spring in Plan-les-Ouates (Geneva), celebrating oral narration as a vital force for social connection and cultural dialogue. Since 1995, the festival has brought together storytellers from across the world, and the 2026 edition invites audiences to journey through epics and great narratives spanning continents and centuries — from Ireland, Mali, Algeria and Australia to closer shores. Blending classic tales with contemporary voices, performances, family shows and workshops, the festival affirms storytelling as a shared, intimate and deeply human art form.
Hop into a seasonal adventure filled with egg hunts across parks and gardens, playful treasure trails and hands-on creative workshops. Kids can mold chocolates in a chocolate-making workshop, follow clues in a family-friendly escape game, and parade with glowing lanterns as music and laughter fill the streets. Discover splashes of street art, taste local treats and listen to cheerful sounds while hunting for hidden chocolate treasures. Colors, scents and movement spark curiosity and teamwork.
Kids ages 3 and up.
Françoise Boillat brings Antigone to life in an outdoor performance set against the backdrop of seven “remarkable trees” each month. This unique production weaves Antigone’s defiance of political authority with her devotion to the gods. The ancient trees stand as silent witnesses to the enduring human struggles between law, nature, and freedom.
