Don’t just like it, live it!
This hands-on workshop invites participants to design a flag expressing personal connections to water in the Lake Geneva bioregion. Participants are encouraged to draw on memories of rivers, streams or the lake—walks, swims and family gatherings—and to combine drawings, symbols and words. The session examines how personal narratives reveal ecological relationships and encourages reflection on the vulnerability of these places to climate change, fostering creative responses that link emotion, place and environmental awareness.
Caroline Couteau, director of Éditions Zoé, presents a programme featuring authors Elisa Shua Dusapin, Anne‑Sophie Subilia, Aude Seigne, Jérémie Gindre, Sarah Elena Müller, Raphaëlle Lacord and Catherine Safonoff.
This weekend of readings, performances and writing workshops examines contemporary literary practices rooted in intimate, sensory prose. Presentations explore fragility, childhood, family ties, migration and cultural memory, revealing creative processes and the editorial line of Zoé: precise, restrained writing that illuminates individual trajectories and broader social narratives.

Atelier Grrr leads a hands-on scenography workshop that invites participants to become young scenographers by exploring the forest as a creative stage. The session investigates how we perceive outdoor spaces through all senses and how to design temporary installations that respond to nature. Participants experiment with listening, imagining and collective play, focusing on process and care rather than final outcomes. The workshop encourages playful collaboration and attentive stewardship of natural environments.
Join neighbours for a lively community flea market celebrating local connections and shared treasures. Stalls brim with second‑hand finds while the programme features street theatre, a central stage, live music and dance, circus acts, and a family‑friendly bike parcours. A food stand offers street food from around the world and a refreshment bar will be open. Everyone is welcome — families, students, longtime residents and newcomers — and volunteers are invited to help keep the event welcoming and safe.
Join the organising team for a warm season-opening celebration welcoming everyone in the community. The evening features presentations of the year’s programme, a shared apéro, musical surprises from the Duo N’imPorte Quoi and a hip-hop dance piece, “On Joue Ensemble” by Rafael Smadja. Families, neighbours and newcomers can meet the artists, discover upcoming shows and enjoy convivial moments together. The gathering invites connection, conversation and collective celebration of the season ahead.
Performed and choreographed by Lisa Laurent, this solo performance is a choreography of grief. Semi-nude and accompanied only by a small table and a microphone, Laurent gives herself over to inconsolable lamentations: her movements are laboured, as if mired in her own tears, and each attempt to regain composure falters. The piece interrogates vulnerability and the grotesque dimensions of sadness, gradually collapsing the distance between performer and audience to create a space where private fragility can be looked at and shared.
