La Bâtie Festival: 10000 Gestes

An hour of fleeting, intense moments unfolds in Boris Charmatz’s “10,000 Gestures”, presented in Geneva for the first time since its 2017 premiere. Each dancer performs a unique, unrepeatable sequence of 400 gestures — from singing and kissing to giving birth or leaping midair — creating a chaotic, ephemeral “anti-museum” of choreography. A jubilant and nostalgic swirl of memory and disappearance, no two audience members will witness the same performance, but all will remember it.

Kids ages 14 and up.
