Sapin Magique — Psychedelic Improvised Music

Led by the duo Sapin Magique—Luc Muller and Marcin de Morsier—this improvised set blends psychedelic, shamanic and regressive currents to realign perception and recall primary musical instincts. Ethnic, electric and electronic instruments—sometimes imperfect—are joined by toys and found hardware, conjuring hypnotic, childlike refrains and abrupt New Age accents. The evening also presents kokhlias (Olga Kokcharova) and loulan (Antoine Läng), framing the concert as a loose, communal ritual of sonic exploration and raw beauty.

Operation Transat’s Le Grand Village transforms public space into a nomadic, poetic microcosm. The itinerant theatre company sets up tents, caravans and open-air spaces where artists, residents and passers-by meet through a varied programme of short plays, object theatre, puppetry, circus, concerts, readings and workshops.

Two unexpected deities arrive by bicycle, guided by a capricious GPS, carrying a very serious object: the Wheel of Fortune. They need the audience—especially children—to spin the wheel and together invent a story about a child to whom nothing seems to go right. Misfortunes pile up, luck sticks to the sneakers and solutions must be imagined. A participatory musical tale where chance and imagination shape a different story each time.

In French. Kids ages 5 and up.

Propulsive rhythms, swirling textures and playful theatricality create an immersive, joyous atmosphere that oscillates between subversion and warmth, broadcasting a message of hope that leaves audiences amused and exhilarated.

Returning for its twentieth edition, Les Aubes brings softness and poetry to Geneva mornings. At dawn, intimate musical encounters offer delicate soundscapes that stir the senses, favouring close listening and subtle atmospheres. The programme highlights a variety of acoustic and experimental projects, from solo performances to chamber ensembles, each designed to awaken the city with refined timbres and attentive pacing. A gentle celebration of morning listening and communal presence.

12 – 23 August

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.
