Watches and Wonders Geneva: The Montreux Jazz Club settles in Geneva for a temporary residency.
The spirit of the Montreux Jazz Festival takes over Geneva as part of the “In The City” program of the Watches and Wonders Geneva watch show. For five consecutive evenings, a pop-up Montreux Jazz Club will open its doors at Quai du Général-Guisan to offer a free, intimate, immersive musical experience.
Ensemble Temenos presents a programme centred on Tarquinio Merula’s sacred concertos and instrumental works, with soprano Capucine Keller and an organ continuo. Merula’s music moves between contrapuntal clarity and bold expressive gestures, exploiting chromatic daring, harmonic tension and contrasting textures. The programme juxtaposes intimate vocal lines, one- or two-part instrumental writing and organ pieces, creating a narrative momentum that feels both contemplative and dramatic. Lighting of sound and silence shapes a meditative, nocturnal atmosphere.
Alborosie, the Sicilian-born artist who has made Kingston his creative home, leads Shengen Clan in a generation-spanning reggae show. As singer, songwriter and producer, he blends roots, dub and dancehall with deep reverence, supported by a tight band whose warm bass and echoing studio effects recall classic Jamaican sound. Lighting and sound sculpt an intimate, immersive space where soulful vocals, call-and-response grooves and meditative dub passages invite communal release and reflective calm.
Directed by Joël Pommerat, this new creation imagines the encounter of two very young girls who defy the laws of the real world and adult authority to preserve their pact of friendship. Positioned between theatre and novel, the piece combines grave and naive episodes, where the supernatural becomes a means to confront inconceivable realities. The staging favours intimate, unsettling atmospheres and a precise ensemble work. Includes accessible formats: relaxed performance, audiodescription and tactile visit.

Virtuoso pianist Peter Bence returns the Alhambra with his new show “Pianosphere Tour.” He will perform pieces from his latest album, merging original compositions with covers of hits like “Despacito” and “Rocketman.” Known for his percussive and innovative style, Bence transforms the piano into a full orchestra using loopers and electronic effects. Don’t miss this unique concert where classical meets contemporary for an evening of spectacular sounds and dazzling visuals.
Organised by Alliance Créative, Double Jeu is an improvisation format built on strategy and subtle manipulation: each performer secretly receives a mission to coax a partner into a specific action without being noticed. Scenes cascade into comic chaos where every line conceals an intention, and performers juggle personal objectives against shifting group dynamics. The atmosphere alternates between playful mischief and razor-sharp timing, producing surprising twists and communal laughter.
