At dawn, as night slowly gives way to day, La Cité Bleue invites you to experience a rare moment with two concerts called L’Heure Bleue, created by pianist and composer Alain Roche.
Playing piano as the sky softly brightens—neither fully night nor day—this delicate moment becomes the perfect setting for music that listens to silence rather than imposes itself. It’s a gentle, immersive, almost meditative experience where music blends with the passage of time.
After spending six years in prison, a solitary con artist embarks on a journey of reintegration. Suddenly, a woman claiming to be his daughter appears, bringing up a missing sum of money, a cult, and an heiress tied to wartime exploitation. With the support of a therapist who was involved throughout his incarceration, the characters delve into a world of deception, identity quests, and shared guilt. This existential thriller delves into the fragmented nature of reality and memory.

Pulse is an acrobatic uppercut where breath, rhythm and bodies fuse into a spectacular trance. Created by Cie Kiaï, the piece propels six acrobats into a rebounding space where the laws of gravity seem to dissolve. Set to a hypnotic musical pulse, the performers lift, collide and vibrate in unison in a vertiginous choreography. The staging privileges sensory intensity, blending physical virtuosity, rhythmic precision and immersive soundscapes to deliver a visceral, kinetic experience.
La Cuisine des Collectionneurs is a convivial, evolving exhibition where contemporary art meets gastronomy. The project invites four collectors to curate walls from their personal collections. It blends scenography, shared collecting, and a collective display, extended into the kitchen through an ephemeral menu inspired by their worlds. Conceived as a living space, the exhibition unfolds with talks, meals, and gatherings over time, celebrating exchange, generosity, and the pleasure of art—on the walls and on the plate.
Choreographed by Trajal Harrell and performed by the Zürich Dance Ensemble, Caen Amour blurs the line between dance and runway, mixing representation with sharp cultural commentary. The piece draws on the late-19th-century hoochie-coochie and orientalist spectacle, reworking those flamboyant gestures into a transcultural odyssey. Costumes, music and lighting interplay to sculpt a theatrical, sensual atmosphere where movement, pageantry and critique collide, inviting reflection on performance, identity and spectacle.
Inspired by the accounts of women mountaineers, this performance intertwines mountaineering, feminism, and ecology. Two women, united against the elements, commemorate a vanished glacier, confronting fear and hope. The mountain emerges as a symbol of both endangered nature and the solidarity of humanity in need of rebuilding.

Marc Ribot, a restless guitar legend, delivers an incandescent solo set that fuses jazz and Latin influences into a singular sonic journey. A catalyst of sounds, Ribot has shaped entire musical worlds alongside Tom Waits, the Lounge Lizards and Jim Jarmusch, and his recent album Map of a Blue City (2025) further confirms his adventurous virtuosity. In concert his playing becomes an immersive exploration of texture, rhythm and melody, moving from tender intimacy to volcanic intensity.
