Perspectives by the Young Ballet of Geneva

Free, Booking Required

Led by choreographer and pedagogue Guillaume Siard, the junior Area Jeune Ballet de Genève responds to a contemporary exhibition by turning visual motifs into movement. The young ensemble investigates ways of seeing, using layers and superposition as a choreographic device. Sparse gestures, precise groupings and shifting light suggest new perspectives on the artworks, while an attentive staging balances playful experimentation with rigorous technique, creating an intimate, contemplative atmosphere that invites reflection and renewed visual attention.

To mark its 21st anniversary, Geneva’s label HU presents a night of five short, immersive experimental electronic performances. Artists ENOIA, DA SAZ, GOODBYE IVAN, VINCENT HÄNNI and POL offer sculpted sound worlds that blur rhythm and texture, using spatialised electronics and subtle lighting to conjure uncanny atmospheres. The program favors intimate, exploratory set pieces that invite deep listening and physical presence. A shared meal by Tito (Peru) accompanies the evening, adding a communal dimension to the sonic journey.

Directed by Louis Bonard, Les Voüéces follows two reclusive women, Rodogonde and Frénéjus, who live atop a high tower. Louis Bonard and Michèle Gurtner wrote and perform a piece in an enchanted pseudo‑medieval tongue where voice, embroidery and play weave a poetic fable. The performance probes silence, the passage of time, guilt and the unsettling presence of other voices — ghostly, culpable or absurd — with a blend of darkness and dark humour.

In French.
