Don’t just like it, live it!

7 – 9 April

Create, print and animate insect friends. Start by imagining and modeling your own fantastic insect in 3D, inspired by real rainforest species. Then print it, paint bright colors, add textures and recycled materials to decorate its body. Place your creature into a shared vivarium that fills with color and tiny movements. Finish with a stop-motion workshop to make your insect walk and buzz on screen, learning about shape, texture and storytelling through hands-on play.

In French. Kids ages 8 and up.

7 – 19 April

Eric Eriston Winarto presents a body of small oil paintings that treat the Swiss landscape as memory and pictorial research. Executed largely in A4 format, these fragmentary paintings—hills veiled in smoke, metallic roads, nocturnal scenes with phantom headlights, bluish forests—oscillate between observation and abstraction. Drawing on the legacy of Turner and Hodler, Winarto probes perception, tension and balance, using controlled yet enigmatic brushwork to suggest storms, glaciers and mist. The project questions how intimate, poetic images emerge from fleeting atmospheric states.

Wednesday 8 April, 20:00

João Gomes, Mestrinho, and Jota.Pê will bring their musical project “Dominguinho” to the Alhambra, born from their collaboration in the vibrant city of Olinda. “Dominguinho” offers a rich blend of poetry, rhythms, and Brazilian sounds across twelve tracks. After achieving remarkable success with nearly a million daily streams, the project is now embarking on a live tour to share its music throughout Brazil.

7 – 12 April

Directed by Richard Gauteron and written by Hervé Devolder, Succès Reprise is a delightfully cunning vaudeville that folds theatre into life. Three actors rehearse a hit play in which a woman leaves her husband for his lover, while offstage romantic entanglements mirror and complicate those roles. The piece balances sharp comedy, backstage intrigue and thorny financial stakes, staging mise en abyme with precision and warmth. Produced by Théâtre Marathon, it arrives as a celebrated Off d’Avignon success.

In French.

Wednesday 8 April, 15:00

Embark on an exploratory journey between Maison Tavel and the Tatiana Zoubov Museum, unveiling the hidden treasures of everyday life. This guided tour, designed for children, invites you to transform ordinary objects into extraordinary wonders through engaging storytelling.

In French.  Children aged 6 and up, accompanied by an adult.

Wednesday 8 April, 18:00

Marion Neumann’s personal documentary explores the regenerative capacities of mushrooms through a reflective, exploratory lens. Traveling alongside parasites, symbionts and decomposers, the film offers intimate encounters with people and organisms who imagine renewal amid collapse. It meditates on interconnection, collaboration and forms of resistance, blending observational scenes with poetic reflection. Earthy textures, quiet rhythms and a curious emotional core invite viewers to reconsider human relationships with the more-than-human world and to envision a myco-cultural rethinking of care and repair.

Followed by a discussion with director Marion Neumann in attendance.
In collaboration with Eleusis Society, as part of Magic Bus Evolution.

Make a pocket almanac full of stories, drawings, crosswords, recipes and collectible postcards. In a series of workshops, participants experiment with printmaking techniques, play creative writing games and learn simple bookmaking methods to shape their own small journal.

9 – 12 April

Produced by the Madre de la Culebra company, this music, circus and dance performance imagines a world emptied of sound after music has been stolen. Two courageous performers, dancers and acrobats, embark on a quest to reclaim melody, encountering unexpected figures along the way. They fuse contemporary dance, acrobatics, floorwork and folk steps around the Chinese pole, creating gravity-defying tableaux. On-stage musicians supply original compositions, while the staging probes identity, power and the fragile interplay of sound and movement.

12 March – 16 May

Architecture of Memories is a two-person exhibition by German artist Alina Frieske and Swiss artist Tobias Nussbaumer. Frieske reworks fragments of online imagery into digital collages that question image production and contemporary visual culture. Nussbaumer constructs layered virtual and architectural spaces through detailed pencil and ink drawings based on personal archives. Together their works probe how images configure memory, spatial perception and identity, juxtaposing digital fragmentation with meticulous draughtsmanship.

Opening during Nuit des Bains, Thursday 12 March, 18:00.

13 March – 25 April

Mitja Tušek presents two recent groups of paintings that probe the materiality of painting, the instability of the image and the fragility of identity. One series assembles clusters of faces emerging from dense pictorial fields; each face is built from nine black circles forming a compact pictorial ecosystem. The works emphasise surface, repetition and a sculptural use of paint. Tušek (b. 1961, Maribor) studied in Geneva and is based in Brussels; his work has been shown internationally since the 1990s and is held in major public collections.

Opening during the Nuit de Bains on Thursday 12 March at 18:00.

Celebrating Geneva’s vibrant heartbeat and the stories shaping culture today

Chef Florian Le Bouhec shares his favorite Geneva spots — from his go-to café for inspiration to the cultural discoveries that spark his creativity.
Geneva gave the world the Red Cross, the United Nations, and — as it turns out — the modern comic strip. It's a part of the city's identity that often gets overlooked, but from a 19th-century teacher sketching picture stories by the lake to a new comics museum opening in the works, Geneva's relationship with the ninth art is deeper and more alive than most people realize.
