Amor follows a forty‑something couple, attached yet weary from routine, confronting unspoken truths and the pull toward emancipation. This intimate, humanist theatre piece probes love’s contradictions—between inherited models and contemporary norms—through subtle staging and concentrated performances. Marjolaine Minot and Guillaume Prin embody the emotional shifts with delicate nuance, drawing the audience into a relational interior where choices, desire and restraint collide.

Khaled Aljaramani was born in 1972 in Suweïda, Syria, and grew up amid a rich musical tradition. From the Druze community, his early activism and imprisonment at 19 left a deep mark on his artistic voice. Recognised as one of the foremost contemporary Syrian oud players, he has led notable collaborations, notably Interzone with Serge Teyssot‑Gay. In solo performance his oud becomes voice, memory and breath, blending tradition, spontaneous improvisation and inner poetry. Presented within the JazzContreBand festival.
Choreographed by Riyad Fghani and performed by Pockemon Crew, this visceral hip‑hop performance transforms micro‑gestures of daily screen use into an explosive, nervous and vibrant physical language. Under shifting lights and layered projections, bodies collide, sync and dissolve in flows that mirror our connected lives. The piece blends precise street technique with theatrical staging and immersive visuals, inviting a moment of collective attention and presence through rigorous choreography and electric ensemble energy.
An introspective monologue for multiple voices, La Table d’Amour is a poetic theatrical immersion inspired by a Tinos island tradition. Performed by Manon Krüttli and Jeanne De Mont, the piece follows Manon Krüttli’s journey between autobiography, fiction and dreamlike reverie. It probes questions of living together, reconciliation and the role of conviviality as an artistic gesture, creating an intimate, sensory staging that favors lyricism and shared presence.

Events running for an extended period
Swiss artist Seline Burn presents a series of about a dozen paintings that explore liminal territories where identities, emotions and relationships transform. Figures in motion, in relation or in passage emerge from an omnipresent water, which functions as memory, inner landscape and dream space. Recurring colours weave a sensitive thread through contrasts and tensions across the works. The exhibition encourages contemplation of ambivalence and the possibility of finding forms of belonging within transient states.
Opening: Thursday 17 September, 18:00
Together is an immersive experience in three parts that explores multilateralism and the role of international cooperation. Visitors move through a sensory narrative, interact with tactile and audio elements, and cast votes on imagined resolutions. The format mixes storytelling, participation and emotion to produce surprising communal moments. Intimate yet expansive, the experience invites curiosity, playful engagement and reflection on how collective action shapes peace and shared futures.
Electron Festival is one of Europe’s leading festivals dedicated to electronic culture, bringing together pioneering artists, musicians, visual creators, researchers, and audiences through an ambitious multidisciplinary programme.

Geneva based artist Gregory Bourrilly presents seven sculptures and a photograph that reconsider human-centered narratives in favor of ecological processes. Since 2018 his practice explores living dynamics and natural phenomena, imagining a posthuman world where human culture gradually yields to vegetal and animal recolonization. The works combine sculptural forms and photographic framing to evoke material transformation, decay and emergence, proposing alternative imaginaries of coexistence beyond anthropocentrism.
Opening: Thursday 17 September, 18:00
Swiss artist Andreas Kressig presents Station 505, a temporary sculpture-pavilion conceived as an architectural and sensory intervention. Built in relation to an existing fountain, the work paradoxically conceals and reveals water while offering both an exterior sculpture to contemplate and an interior space to inhabit. Through material presence and spatial thresholds it interrogates public versus private realms. The project is activated by shared moments with the artist centred on a communal tea service and reflections on its diverse cultural interpretations.
Opening: 23 September, 17:00
Antoni Tàpies presents the complete series “Variations on a Musical Theme”, twenty lithographs created in 1987. The suite reveals Tàpies’s fascination with the interplay between visual art and music: each variation establishes its own rhythm, material presence and visual language. Treated as a continuous sequence, the works unfold like a musical score, inviting an immersive reading of process, texture and symbolic gesture within the artist’s graphic practice.
