An open talent evening mixing an open mic with scheduled concerts and a communal jam. Performers — musicians, stand-up comics, improvisers, slammers, magicians and circus artists — share short pieces in a lively, informal programme that moves from solo showcases to band sets and culminates in a bluegrass jam. The atmosphere is playful and supportive, inviting experimentation, surprises and spontaneous collaborations between artists of different disciplines.
Cirque Knie presents a family-oriented, large-scale circus spectacle combining athletic acrobatics, equestrian artistry and choreographed variety numbers. The programme balances fast-paced technical acts and poetic interludes, with careful staging, lighting and live musical accompaniment to create moments of wonder and humour. Suitable for children from four years upwards, the show prioritises accessibility and comfort while offering an immersive, theatrical atmosphere that blends tradition and contemporary circus aesthetics.
Curated by the Summer Concerts Association and its artistic committee, this series offers an hour of chamber music that ranges from intimate solo recitals to richly textured ensemble programmes. Repertoire spans classical chamber works with thoughtful programming that highlights timbre, phrasing and quiet dynamic arcs. The performances favour close listening and meditative atmospheres, where delicate sonorities and careful lighting shape intimate moments and gradual emotional transitions, inviting reflection and a sense of calm.
La Bâtie Festival celebrates its 50th edition from 25 August to 13 September 2026! Over three weeks, theatre, dance, concerts, performances, circus and parties will take over venues across Geneva and the region. This anniversary edition also introduces Le Béaba, a new open-air hub at the Musée Ariana, bringing together free events, performances and concerts in a lively, convivial setting.
Berlin duo Alexander Hacke and Danielle de Picciotto present a hypnotic live project that blends German vocals, folkloric atmospheres, piano, electronics and daring sonic experimentation. Their new album explores shifting textures and intimate narratives, alternating between sparse, haunting melodies and dense, immersive soundscapes. The performance privileges atmosphere and emotional tension, inviting listeners into a trance-like world where acoustic instruments and electronic processing continually reshape familiar folk motifs.
Scène Vagabonde’s seventh edition brings a compact program of contemporary theatre and music, presenting three contrasting stage works — “Par le bout du nez”, “Quadrille” and “Prima facie” — alongside a concert by Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp as part of La Bâtie-Festival de Genève. Across intimate stagings the festival favors inventive direction, close ensemble interplay and a balance of wit and intensity, offering encounters that privilege physical presence, tonal variety and rigorous dramaturgy.
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.
