Saturday 26 September, 19:00

Presented by Creative BPM, Tremplin Mouvement gathers emerging female choreographers and dancers from street and clubbing cultures to present short, 15-minute works. The evening showcases experimental approaches to movement, rhythm and club aesthetics, foregrounding techniques drawn from Afro‑diasporic popular cultures. Intimate and kinetic, the programme favors testing new forms, bold improvisation and visceral staging, offering snapshots of a vibrant, evolving scene and a platform for practices often underrepresented in Geneva.

1 – 2 October

These two evenings present the work of Anna-Marija Adomaitytė, Jerson Diasonama and Maud Blandel, created through collaborative dialogue with non‑professional participants. Across performance, film projection, collective listening and polyphonic conversations, the programme explores how encounters reshape artistic practice and affect those involved. Three works are presented: La Vraie Version (radio piece), I Think You Should Be Here (short film) and Jogo de Dentro (performance).

In French.

6 – 8 October

Choreographed by María del Mar Suárez (La Chachi), this hybrid flamenco pieces tradition and punk sensibility into a raw, personal language. On stage two musicians and a singer shape a live soundscape that frames La Chachi’s emergence: a dim light reveals her silhouette as she advances and begins an ascension. Her motions coil and break in looping cycles as the music intensifies. Visceral and hypnotic, the performance immerses spectators in concentrated rhythms and fierce corporeal poetry.

28 – 31 October

Centred on Sami Bernath’s embodied memories, this performance mixes Swiss popular songs, rhythmic gestures and the traditional Löffelä spoon percussion to transform everyday motions into sound. Through repetition, deformation and rhythmic saturation, familiar motifs become permeable, revealing buried and repressed memories beneath the Swiss mountains. The staging is intimate and ritualistic, alternating fragile vocal fragments and percussive textures to probe memory and collective inheritance.

In French.

3 – 4 November

Quinceañeras is a durational performance created and performed by Colombian artists Estefanía and Luisa, who examine the ambivalence of the quinceañera ritual. Combining movement, symbolic staging and intimate scenography, the piece interrogates colonial legacies and the boundaries of gendered rites of passage. Through choreography and poetic gestures they transform ritual into acts of resistance and self-affirmation, proposing new modes of feminine representation and collective memory within contemporary performance.

6 – 7 November

Autothérapie is a solo dance work that unfolds as a choreographic form of introspection. Fragmented sessions weave geography of memory, trauma and cultural references to explore Haiti, personal history and intergenerational memory. The piece favors intimate, physical staging and concentrated dramaturgy, inviting viewers into an embodied investigation of identity, inherited narratives and resilience. Rawness and poetic movement alternate, producing a dense emotional atmosphere that lingers beyond the performance.
