The atmosphere is friendly and inclusive, offering a place for the whole community to gather and celebrate music together.
Choreographer Ruth Childs and visual artist Cécile Bouffard explore guilty pleasures, hobbies and obsessions in an installation-performance for three dancers: Cosima Grand, Marta Capaccioli and mona mioca felah. Blending gestures and objects, Such a Devoted Bunch examines mechanisms of devotion and collective ritual, turning ancestral and anecdotal practices into material for community and shared enthusiasm. The work gathers a whimsical cluster of bodies and forms that respond, repel and embrace, offering a tactile, intimate theatrical experience.

Otis Thaïs Martin performs a solo trapeze piece that turns acrobatic balance into a metaphor for living with anxiety. On a rigging that oscillates and resists, Martin mixes aerial performance, spoken testimony and musical improvisation by Camille Garcia‑Rennes to explore exhaustion, survival strategies and the tenderness of queer kinship. Formerly associated with L’Abri, the artist transforms the stage into a political space for collective care and witness, crafting moments of tension that open onto surprising tenderness and fragile joy.

Geneva’s Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp offers a nomadic musical odyssey that blends fervent rhythms, sonic experimentation and a spirit of freedom. For nearly twenty years the collective has shaped a distinctive sound: layered voices, interweaving textures and songs that confront the present without succumbing to despair. Carried by an impressive constellation of brass, strings, percussion, marimbas and guitars, more than fifteen musicians create generous, mobile and intensely alive music that moves between communal celebration and joyful escape.
Additional free performances:
Un conseil d’ami is a taut, intimate theatre piece that probes the fragile ties between friendship and trust.

Performers move between colloquial realism and heightened, poetic moments, navigating moral ambiguity and small acts of care. The piece invites concentration on gesture, voice and timing, offering a quietly intense experience of human connection and moral questioning.
