Directed by Valeria Bertolotto, Faire Hamlet! stages a company wrestling with performance and truth as rehearsals of Shakespeare’s prince unravel private tensions. Pierre Banderet, Dylan Poletti and an intergenerational ensemble confront doubt, jealousy and shifting identities while Angèle Colas provides artistic collaboration. Sound by Fred Jarabo, scenography by Fanny Courvoisier, lights by Alessandra Domingues and costumes by Eléonore Cassaigneau shape an intimate, unstable world where fiction bleeds into life.

Two unexpected deities arrive by bicycle, guided by a capricious GPS, carrying a very serious object: the Wheel of Fortune. They need the audience—especially children—to spin the wheel and together invent a story about a child to whom nothing seems to go right. Misfortunes pile up, luck sticks to the sneakers and solutions must be imagined. A participatory musical tale where chance and imagination shape a different story each time.
In French. Kids ages 5 and up.
Pornopolis is a DJ duo born from the Metal Dance rave collective in Geneva. Their sets blend Italo disco, disco and new beat influences, reviving the spirit of the 1980s and 1990s with warm synths and driving rhythms. Bowmore (Florence Halazy) is a Geneva-based DJ, curator and radio resident whose performances move between techno and bass, exploring club textures and contemporary sonic trends. The evening highlights underground dance culture and analogue grooves.
Mehdi Djouad leads a hands-on writing workshop that introduces political astrology through the image of the Wheel. Starting from the zodiacal and social meanings of the wheel, the workshop examines the natal chart as a symbolic map rather than a predictive or simplistic self-help tool. It explores the Sun, the difference between solar sign and solar house, and the tension between destiny and freedom. Sessions alternate transmission, discussion, concrete examples and simplified first readings, suitable for adults and children.

Cocanha is a vocal and percussion duo rooted in Occitan traditional music, performed by Lila Fraysse and Caroline Dufau with sound by Sanz Grosclaude. Two voices and stringed tambourines weave hypnotic polyphonies while foot rhythms and struck textures animate archival songs. The performance blurs archive and living tradition: melodies shift, words reappear transformed, and the intimate pulse invites physical response, carrying ancient tunes into contemporary space.
Create paper animal masks and puppets in a hands-on workshop that invites children to imagine a lively bestiary of birds, frogs, snakes and fantastical creatures. Using Neocolor II crayons and Caran d’Ache Fibralo water-soluble markers, participants explore color, texture and the transformations water can produce. Intense pigments, unexpected blends and tactile effects open a playful creative space. Kids will personalize their creatures with feathers, glitter and mixed materials and bring them together in a tiny, imaginative puppet theatre.
In French. Kids ages 4 and up.
