This solo performance by Juan Pablo Cámara traces the contours of attention and encounter. Combining subtle gestures, spoken fragments and calibrated pauses, the piece unfolds as a durational portrait that navigates memory, presence and the politics of looking. The artist’s restrained physicality and keen listening create a charged atmosphere where small actions accumulate into emotional clarity. Presented within the ‘First impressions’ residency curated by Jade Meili Barget.

Curated by Frédéric Post and Sonia Perego, MOS ESPA offers an unplugged, immersive festival framed as a barefoot, cocoon-like listening experience. The program features performances by Léna Hiriartborde, Yann Leguay, Julian Sartorius, Pali Meursault and others, blending field recordings, amplified objects, acoustic traditions and electronic textures. Site-specific installations and wooden instruments crafted by a participating maker lend a handcrafted intimacy, while sparse lighting and spatialised sound create close, contemplative atmospheres that favour shared, intense musical moments.
Mos_Espa is a project best experienced barefoot, in socks, slippers, or leather boots. You will be asked to leave your shoes and phone in the cloakroom. For this edition without electricity, credit card payments will not be accepted; cash only.
Natalia González Martín presents eleven new oil paintings on panel that extend her sustained engagement with still life. Drawing on the visual language of Baroque and Counter-Reformation masters such as Juan Sánchez Cotán and Francisco Zurbarán, the works turn toward the ritual of sobremesa — the suspended time after a meal — and consider it as a gendered social space. Set against tenebrist backgrounds, plates, fruit, glasses and fragments of bodies emerge to reorient still life from display and possession toward duration, relation and the often-invisible labour of togetherness.
Feu au lac ! stages a trio of political puppet pieces that resurrect little-known episodes of Romandy’s social history. Combining rod puppets, archival fragments and live music, the performance balances sharp satire and warm humanity. Conceived from a short piece shown during Cabaret en chantier 2024, the triptych revitalizes political marionette theatre while offering a rhythmic, musical staging that sparks reflection and collective energy. The creative approach foregrounds material histories and the power of popular resistance.

“Drawing on Francisco Goya’s witch engravings and Tauromachia series, the project uses the monster, ritual, and satire as languages to express social, political, and mediated violence — normalized over time. Goya’s Nightmare is not a story of the past, but a dark prism through which to view our present. It seeks to reveal what remains unseen: violence against women when it stops being decorative and becomes systemic.” — Leah Linh
John M Armleder is invited for the museum’s sixth Carte Blanche, presenting over 500 works in a thematic traversal that juxtaposes heritage and contemporary creation. The installation-driven exhibition stages dialogues between animals, abstract painting, musical instruments and lighting, using assemblage, ephemeral structures and situational interventions to encourage wandering and reinterpretation. Paintings, sculptures and installations are layered and superimposed to prompt new readings of the collection and to foreground process, chance and visual play.
