An apéro-visit that pairs art and music: guests listen to selected operatic airs woven into a guided exploration of Jean-Étienne Liotard’s work, and share a glass before or after the experience. The programme frames Liotard’s portraits and pastels through sound, foregrounding tonal colour and emotional nuance. Soft vocal lines and attentive commentary create an intimate, contemplative atmosphere that invites quiet reflection and fresh listening to familiar images.

L’homme oreiller is a poetic, physical theatre piece that explores sleep, memory and intimacy through fragmented scenes and inventive stagecraft. The performance blends subtle movement, atmospheric soundscapes and minimalist design to evoke shifting states between wakefulness and dream. The ensemble cultivates a fragile, tactile atmosphere where gestures accumulate meaning and silence speaks as loudly as action. The result is a meditative, emotionally resonant experience that lingers beyond the lights.
A theatrical, musical and visual voyage into the heart of the Mediterranean, Poésidonia brings together forty actors, singers and musicians in a vibrant chorus. Their stories speak of solidarity, exile, hope and resistance, carried by poetry, music and voices from across the world. Around the performance, concerts extend the encounter, while an exhibition of photographs and illustrations adds further visual perspectives.

BLUE BLUE SKY brings an indie rock-pop set that moves between playful energy and dreamy escape. The music turns human rock ’n’ roll mayhem into a breezy, sunlit ride, with a sound that feels both buoyant and slightly surreal. Its imagery of blue skies, waves, and summer warmth suggests a performance built on lightness, movement, and an easy sense of release.
An open-mic welcoming performers of every level to present a song with support from Alexandre Coppaloni’s team of professional musicians or with your own band. Share original compositions or reinterpret favourite pieces before a curious, welcoming audience. One song per participant (more if time allows); pieces should stay close to original keys and avoid overly complex arrangements, since there is no rehearsal with the house band. Send charts in advance if you need instrumental support.
For its 500th anniversary, the Grand Council is transforming this seat of power in the Old Town into a stage open to the public. Heritage becomes the medium for a narrative that connects the city’s past to its present. Through a visual and sound-based creation, this event offers a new way to discover the history of Geneva’s institutions.
Four performers embody testimonies from different generations in Sept, situated at the crossroads of dance and film. Between intimate confidences and tender tableaux, the piece examines how age shapes us and stages a delicate exploration of what growing older means, revealing a shared humanity. The staging shifts between projected images and live bodies, weaving visual and physical layers to create an experience that is both poetic and unsettling.
