Saturday 22 August, 14:00

Join a playful reading of Les Vœux de Vany with author Noémi Michel. Children will follow Vany, a seven-year-old from Geneva, as she turns the city into a glittering playground filled with slides, talking statues, tasty treats and silly adventures. The session mixes lively storytelling, a friendly conversation with the author and a book signing. Bright imagery, movement and humour invite listeners to imagine and explore alongside the heroine.

In French. Kids ages 3.

Saturday 22 August, 21:00

Celebrating Haiti’s revolutionary heritage, this concert brings together the legendary vodou-rock pioneers Boukman Eksperyans and singer–multi-instrumentalist Paul Beaubrun. Drawing on the adjae tradition and roots music, the performance fuses ancestral rhythms with bold contemporary arrangements. Expect powerful vocals, polyrhythmic percussions and electric textures that bridge tradition and innovation while carrying a message of freedom, social conscience and love. The collaboration highlights musical lineage and a creative renewal of cultural expression.

Sunday 23 August, 15:00

Bardcore Tea Party stages an exuberant tea-dance that blends medieval-inspired arrangements with contemporary pop hits. Lively mandolins and sprightly acoustic textures underpin danceable rhythms, while communal rituals—scones and playful costuming—invite convivial participation. The piece privileges playful staging and close ensemble interplay, balancing nostalgia and irony to create a charming, theatrical atmosphere. Audience members are encouraged to adopt a medievalcore dress code to deepen the immersive, festive experience.

26 – 27 August

Medieval Crack is a performative choreography by Collectif Foulles that collapses medieval imagery into a living, queer‑inflected spectacle. Conceived and choreographed by the collective (Collin Cabanis, Auguste de Boursetty, Délia Krayenbühl, Emma Saba and Fabio Zoppelli) and performed by Collin Cabanis, Auguste de Boursetty, Délia Krayenbühl, Clovis Maillet and Fabio Zoppelli, the work unfreezes sacred tableaux through pop‑medieval songs, spoken interventions and dances that shift from ritual to concert. The piece probes historical fissures to reveal other narratives, bodies and modes of existence.

In French.

Friday 28 August, 21:00

Arat Kilo navigates between musical territories, blending ethio-jazz and vibrant afro-groove, driven by the powerful voice of Malian singer Mamani Keita. Brass and keyboards trace melodies rooted in Ethiopian tradition while contemporary grooves propel the rhythm section. The songs address political and social questions, yet the performance preserves a deeply collective energy. The result is engaged, kinetic music where improvisation and rhythmic drive invite the audience into a warm, communal sound world.

Saturday 29 August, 22:00

Mitsune brings together four musicians wielding the shamisen, blending ancient Japanese folk song with psychedelic textures and rock energy. Powerful vocals, near-ritual rhythms and vivid arrangements transform traditional narratives into a contemporary sonic ritual. Based in Berlin and composed of artists from several countries, the ensemble circulates Japanese traditions through an amplified, visually charged sound. Line-up: Shiomi Kawaguchi (shamisen, shinobue, voice), Youka Snell (shamisen, voice), Daigo Nakai (bass, voice), Petros Tzekos (percussion).
