On the program: radical and hybrid performances, resonating with the exhibition spaces and the collection. A testing ground where emerging and established artists, both local and international, engage in a dialogue between aesthetics, disciplines, and imaginations.
Baptiste Cazaux presents a fragmented physical dance work that upends the senses. As choreographer and performer, Cazaux sculpts an explosive, hyperkinetic body that collides gestures, styles and sonic fragments like a DJ scratching samples. That’s Twisted mixes pop hymn nostalgia from the 2010s with a psychedelic collage of movement and sound, destabilising time, affect and perception. The piece traces contemporary melancholy and seeks transcendence through layered rhythms, distorted textures and sudden shifts in intensity. Création 2026, coproduction.
An extensive survey assembled from a long-standing research collection devoted to glass, this exhibition takes a contemporary look at a millennia-old material. Over two hundred glass and mixed-media works, including sculptural objects, design pieces and installations, testify to a transdisciplinary experimental spirit. Featuring artists such as Ettore Sottsass, Pierre Charpin, Betty Woodman, Bob Wilson, Giuseppe Penone, Jana Sterbak and James Lee Byars, the show examines materiality, technique and the porous boundaries between craft, design and contemporary art.
Opening : Thursday 23 April, 18:00
Guided Tours (in French)
This exhibition presents portraits and personal testimonies of about twenty Swiss centenarians alongside results from the SWISS100 interdisciplinary research project. Photographs, audio testimonies, archival documents and data visualisations dialogue to reveal everyday realities of longevity. The display combines portraiture and research to challenge clichés, exploring memory, loss, care and social infrastructures that shape life after a hundred. Visitors encounter intimate narratives framed by scientific analysis and visual storytelling.
Opening: Thursday 16 April, 18:30 – 20:30
Lapin Lapin is a compassionate comedy that follows a large, eccentric family living in extreme poverty. Directed by Sarah Marcuse, the staging centers on Mama Lapin’s courage and optimism. Through rocambolesque episodes, the piece blends sharp social critique with warm humour and resilient affection. Khaled Khoury’s scenography and Loane Ruga’s lighting shape an intimate, expressive world, while an ensemble cast delivers vivid, tender performances.

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.
The Bande J of Cie Acrylique Junior presents a show at La Parfumerie, delving into a polluted world where poetry arises from waste. Directed by Léon Boesch and Lucien Thévenoz, the production features costumes by Spooky Dolls Surgery and is managed by Evelyne Castellino and Lino Eden.
