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).

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.

Directed by Louis Bonard, Les Voüéces follows two reclusive women, Rodogonde and Frénéjus, who live atop a high tower. Louis Bonard and Michèle Gurtner wrote and perform a piece in an enchanted pseudo‑medieval tongue where voice, embroidery and play weave a poetic fable. The performance probes silence, the passage of time, guilt and the unsettling presence of other voices — ghostly, culpable or absurd — with a blend of darkness and dark humour.
