At the foot of the Salève, just minutes from Geneva, the Grand-Salève Hall stands as Veyrier’s cultural heartbeat—a versatile space where concerts, performances, celebrations and community events come to life.Spacious yet welcoming, it blends functionality with a lively local spirit, offering the perfect stage for shared moments, creative expression and memorable gatherings.
Anitya — L’Impermanence is a participatory solo circus performance by acrobat Inbal Ben Haim. Set among a web of taut, intertwined ropes, the piece explores impermanence, letting go and collective reconstruction. Ben Haim’s mastery of the corde lisse produces striking visual tableaux, blending physical virtuosity with intimate audience interaction as spectators are invited to untangle and lift the performer. The work is atmospheric and sculptural, balancing tension, release and quiet resilience.
Yoann Provenzano returns with a new stand-up show, PERFORMANCE, interrogating the cult of success and the pressure to always perform. With candid digressions and wry observation, Provenzano examines social media’s staging of achievements, identity, and the gap between shown lives and private failures. His tone mixes philosophical flights and self-deprecation, oscillating between sharp satire and warm absurdity. The evening feels intimate yet electric, as the comedian turns everyday anxieties into moments of unexpected clarity and laughter.

Painter Gustave Didelot presents a structured practice around his concept the ‘Monde de peinture’, developed through accumulation and sustained observation. The exhibition comprises canvases that blend figural fragments, architectural motifs, and cultural references—from video games to contemporary art—producing a visual language that oscillates between mirror and distortion. Using layered paint and attentive composition, Didelot sketches a utopian elsewhere: paintings work as windows that invite projection, reveal alternative narratives, and occasionally suggest emergent forms that entangle play and perception.
Opening: 1 October, 18h30
Zamakan is a trio led by Egyptian saz master Abdallah Abozekry, guitarist Baptiste Ferrandis and Indo‑Helvetic violinist Baiju Bhatt. Their oriental jazz blends original compositions with improvisation, weaving vigorous rhythms and drifting poetic reveries. The music foregrounds multicultural identities and adventurous interplay: Abozekry’s hypnotic saz, Ferrandis’s inventive guitar and Bhatt’s virtuosic violin create layered textures that move from intimate stillness to incandescent intensity. Their new album Dans le ventre de la nuit frames the project as an assertion of bold, global creativity.
Conceived, written and performed by Adrien Barazzone, La politique du pire stages a single actor embodying a tumultuous municipal council debating a contemporary artwork replacing a statue. With mordant energy he inhabits a civic body and offers a sharp, jubilant mirror on public life, playing the paradox of solitary performance versus republican dialogue. Scenography: Hélène Bessero-Belti and Tom Richtarch; costumes: Maria Muscalu; sound: Fernando de Miguel; lighting: Vincent Scalbert; collaborators: Barbara Schlittler, Christian Geffroy Schlittler; consultant: Nils‑A. Sambuc. Second instalment of the Trilogie des systèmes, begun with Toute intention de nuire (2024); final part due spring 2027.

Jump into a noisy, playful world where two inventors turn rusty batteries and odd objects into surprising music. Watch them build sounds, mix rhythms, and make puppets sing as clattering beats and bright tones fill the space. Children will laugh, listen closely, and be invited to imagine new instruments, follow fast movements, and feel the music with hands and feet. The show mixes theatre, puppetry, and live composition to spark curiosity and creativity.
In French. Kids ages 3 and up.
