The 41 young talents of the Ballet Junior de Genève present an evening brimming with energy, emotion, and virtuosity. Featuring four choreographic pieces, the performance delves into the dynamism of movement and the intricacies of human relationships with a blend of poetry and tension. The repertoire includes Valse by Marcos Morau, Tenir le temps by Rachid Ouramdane, Touch Base by Marne van Opstal, and Grand Finale by Hofesh Shechter. Under the new co-direction of Dorothée Delabie and Franck Laizet, the program continues the artistic vision of their predecessors.
Centered on three guiding themes — matrices, belief, and mourning — this collective reading by artists Thuy-Han Nguyen-Chi and Fabian Saul, together with a curator, builds on a poetic inquiry system the trio developed in 2022. They create a landscape of texts, sounds, and moving images that both explore and unsettle these questions. The project culminates in a new film composed of archival footage and original sequences edited by Thuy-Han Nguyen-Chi, with sound by Andrew Yong Hoon Lee; a live sound composition by Fabian Saul; and original texts written and performed by Thuy-Han Nguyen-Chi, Jade Meili Barget, and Fabian Saul. This event is part of a three-chapter cycle, also presented at the Harvard Film Archive and the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, in partnership with Zürich liest 2025.
