Raíces

Raíces (meaning “roots” in Spanish) is a musical collaboration born from the meeting of Mariana Flores’ clear soprano and Simon Ghraichy’s passionate piano, blending Latin American nostalgia with French elegance, past memories with present connections.

Since their first encounter in 2016, the Argentine soprano and French-Mexican pianist have merged their cultures through music. Their program explores French melodies by Poulenc, Satie, and Fauré, alongside Spanish and Latin American pieces by Obradors, Piazzolla, Guastavino, and Lecuona.

About the play
1942. France is under occupation. Seven friends gather to celebrate Sophie’s birthday—until two German officers are shot beneath their windows. Kaubach, a Nazi commander, forces the guests to make an unthinkable choice: to designate two hostages among themselves.
Thus begins a harrowing struggle for survival. By confronting the depths of human nature, the play invites us to question which side we would have chosen.

Featuring harpist Julie Campiche, this musical-vegetal immersion traces how the urban forests around Geneva have shaped local soundscapes.

Presented in conjunction with the exhibition SAUVAGES by Claude Barras, it offers a contemplative, sensory journey that blends ecological memory with intimate live music.
