Garaventa’s debut album Casual Drama fuels a live set that fuses post‑punk grit, deviant disco and obsessive kraut trance. On stage the quartet channels glam sensibilities and punk dancefloor energy, pushing toward an intense psychedelic trance. The performance mixes taut rhythms, propulsive bass and shouted harmonies. Band members CJ (keys, vocals), Baptiste (percussion, vocals), Tim (drums) and Souf (bass) carve a dense, immersive soundscape that favours repetition and ecstatic momentum.
With a wide, luminous sound, guitarist Louis Matute leads his Large Ensemble through original compositions shaped by travels to Spain, Latin America and the Caribbean. The band—trumpet, saxophone, piano, double bass and drums—weaves flowing melodies and open improvisations, creating shifting sonic landscapes where groove simmers beneath the surface. The music favours collective interaction and conversation, alternating lyrical themes and spirited solos. Performers include Louis Matute (guitar), Zacharie Ksyk (trumpet), Léon Phal (saxophone), Andrew Audiger (piano), Nathan Vandenbulcke (drums) and Virgile Rosselet (double bass).
This workshop uses techniques from Theatre of the Oppressed to examine systemic oppression, gendered dynamics and power relations in the performing arts. Through physical exercises and situational improvisations contributed by participants, the session explores how power circulates on and off stage and offers practical tools to reclaim agency and transform everyday interactions. The workshop follows a chosen-mix policy and excludes cisgender heterosexual men to foster a safer, more expressive space.

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.
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.
