Don’t just like it, live it!
Choreographed by Ela Franscella and created with MOPS DanceSyndrome during a five-day residency, MuseOM# explores a mysterious balance between the savage and the sage. Movement meets imagination and meditation in a compact, transformative journey, framed by live cello by Michel Thouzeau. Drawing on the exhibition Observatoires — Carte blanche à John M Armleder and works from the MAH collection, the piece favors tactile textures, subtle phrasing and contemplative atmospheres that invite sensory immersion.
Kashi, conceived by choreographer Gauri Priscilla Brülhart to mark twenty years of her career, is a music-and-dance creation rooted in the Banarasi kathak tradition. Inspired by the luminous city of Banaras/Varanasi and the cult of Shiva, the performance blends rhythmic virtuosity, improvisation, narrative gesture and devotional intensity. A company of musicians and dancers trained with masters of the Banaras lineage explores the interplay between tala, melody and footwork. Produced by Sangeet Swiss with support from the State of Fribourg and the Ateliers d’ethnomusicologie.
Every October, the Everybody’s Perfect festival unites the arts and cultural exchange to celebrate the expressions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and queer people worldwide.
Through film, the festival aims to raise awareness of LGBTQ+ issues, offer diverse perspectives on the world, promote creativity, and foster meaningful dialogue. Open to all, it makes a significant contribution to the evolution of society and attitudes.
Choreographed by Anan Atoyama, Atlas of Breaths probes migration and climate loss through participatory, real-time creation. Drawing on climate science, happening culture and the tea-ceremony philosophy, the work unfolds as ephemeral sculptures of bodies, objects, sound and words. Guided by Atoyama, audiences may observe or join, shaping a collective, ever-shifting piece. Collaborative contributions by Viva Sanchez, Jean-Charles François and Christophe Baert enrich the textures, producing an intimate, ritualized and exploratory atmosphere.

Night after night, three titans of the bar enjoy lavish dinners while revisiting history’s great trials. But when a surprise guest happens to be on hand, the game becomes even more delicious: their guest can step into the role of the accused. What will the crime be? “Oh, that doesn’t matter, my dear friend… One can always dig up a crime!” And the trial begins, right alongside the feast. The outcome may not be quite what one imagines…

Experience an illuminated nighttime parcours across the Salève summit, where trees, slopes and esplanades become stages under the stars. Darkness, lanterns and art transform the mountain into a sequence of discoveries, with circus, dance, theatre, music, visual installations and performances by over 40 artists. The route unfolds as a promenading journey, an ascent where light fades and imagination grows, inviting families and curious walkers to wander, encounter unexpected moments and shape their evening step by step.

Composed and performed by Patricia Bosshard with Ensemble Vortex, Apparitions is a new work exploring death and liminal consciousness. Bosshard’s music bridges classical, improvisation and electroacoustic practice; she shapes sounds that dissolve the body and summon presences, lights and resonances. The score uses multichannel diffusion, spatialisation and real‑time electronics, with close collaboration from Arturo Corrales and Daniel Zea on immersive systems. Between breath and silence, the piece unfolds as an intimate, sensory exploration of memory and auditory apparition.
Françoise Deladoëy assembles cut-and-paste collages combining watercolor, graphite and mixed media to probe contemporary upheavals and imagine alternative possibilities.
Using images and fragments sourced from the press, she composes visual landscapes where disparate realities collide and metamorphose. The works fuse the living and the mechanical, beauty and unease, highlighting environmental crisis, technological shifts and resource exhaustion. Collage becomes a transformative method that both records fragmentation and opens an imaginative space where new narratives, spiritual questions and other forms of coexistence might be envisioned.
Opening: 18 October, 18:00
