Saturday 1 August, 16:00

La Rioule is an exuberant drag performance blending sharp comedy, bold costumes and live cabaret energy. Featuring queens Diamanda Callas, Lady Ricart, Royale Cattin and Moon, the show explores identity, parody and theatrical glamour through lip-sync, physical comedy and playful choreography. Expect dazzling costume moments, quick-witted personas and a communal party atmosphere that alternates between outrageous humour and tender gestures, inviting the audience into a colourful, performative world.

Friday 7 August, 23:00

Formed in 2002, Skankin’ Society is a pivotal Geneva collective and label that revives the golden age of Jamaican music. Their selections—roots reggae, rocksteady and gems from the 1960s and 70s—are curated with retro finesse and high-quality taste. Equipped with a vintage sound system, the crew (including Tim Gourdou-Labourdette, Camille Chappuis, Manohar Jonnalagedda, Simon Arbouille and Till Girardier) crafts a nocturnal journey through timeless Caribbean grooves and deep, sovereign vibrations.

Saturday 8 August, 21:00

Chicha Libre revives chicha, a psychedelic cumbia born in 1960s Peru, and propels it into a cosmopolitan, dance-driven sound. Founded in New York, the band blends surf guitar, vintage organs, Latin percussion and synths to create strange, festive atmospheres that mix cumbia rhythms with psychedelic rock and electronic experiments. The ensemble features Olivier Conan (cuatro, vocals), Vincent Douglas (guitar), Joshua Camp (keyboards, vocals), Nicholas Dudahy (bass), Neil Ochoa and Karina Vazquez (percussion).

8 – 28 August

Created and performed by Marie‑Aude Guignard, L’Art¿ is an expansive outdoor performance that reclaims Geneva’s public space through large-format posters. Using words contributed by 213 local children, the site-specific installation intervenes day and night, transforming streets and official walls into a city-sized poetic playground. The work blends visual audacity with collective voice, offering ephemeral, sensory encounters that disrupt the routines of urban life.

In French.

9 – 30 August

From garden to plate: a convivial, hands-on workshop exploring seasonal vegetable harvesting and simple cooking techniques for families. Participants of all ages harvest produce outdoors, learn basic preparation and knife skills, discover flavour combinations and seasonal cooking methods, then prepare and share dishes together. The session emphasises sensory discovery, sustainable food practices and practical culinary confidence. Suitable for children and adults; no prior experience required.

In French.

22 July – 16 August

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.
