Created at the Théâtre de l’Échandole, the duo shapes a compact, vibrant concert where precision and raw energy coexist. Lighting and sonic detail carve intimate moments and sudden surges, transporting listeners into a taut, lyrical atmosphere.

Théâtre du Loup

Equipped with a notebook and pen, participants go on walks through the PAV district (Praille-Acacias-Vernet), where the theatre is located. They pause, observe, and record what they see and hear — capturing the evolving landscape of a neighborhood in full transformation.

Led by Jean-Louis Johannides, experienced in mapping and territorial exploration, these walks are a practice in attention, perception, and witnessing urban change — like gathering berries or herbs in a forest. No pressure to produce anything; just the joy of collecting the real.

Suites françaises by J.S. Bach

Performances
La Cité Bleue

Cédric Pescia presents his new recording of Bach’s French Suites, marking its Geneva launch with a recital. These six suites, composed during Bach’s Köthen period, follow the traditional French suite structure—blending elegance with contrapuntal richness.

Rooted in the dance traditions of the Renaissance and shaped by French influence, the French Suites reveal Bach’s mastery in transforming simple forms into profound musical statements. A key work for solo keyboard, and a cycle Pescia explores with depth and finesse.

Quoiqu’il arrive. Respire.

Performances
Théâtre du Loup

Written by Julie Gilbert and directed by Lou Ciszewski, Quoiqu’il arrive. Respire. follows Joana, shaken after seeing a play about a young activist in which one of her pupils performs. Performed by Margot Le Coultre, the piece questions women’s will and capacity to fight—physically and metaphorically—and how to claim and hold space without being assigned a role. Presented in a portable, ‘portative’ form commissioned by the producing company, the staging favors close-up gestures, raw textures and a quietly collective imagination that unsettles certainties.
