Don’t just like it, live it!
J-Pat is a likable schlaps in this one-man show that blends humour and lightness. Written by Blaise Granget and Marc Zucchello and directed by Marc Zucchello, the performance features Blaise Granget and Damien Naïmi. Through virtuosic violin, rap and a taste for fine cars, the character oscillates between erudition and pop culture—from Seneca to Frida Kahlo and Frozen—building sharp social observations and personal struggles.
In French.
Performed and directed by Eve Aouizerate, this incisive solo creation blends autofiction and faux stand-up to turn fairy-tale promises into a sharp satire. Using humour and precise stagecraft, Aouizerate interrogates reactionary online imaginaries and the contemporary allure of tradwives, exposing tensions between domestic idealisation and feminist inheritance. The piece mixes intimate confession, comic timing and critical observation to probe identity, boredom and the pressures shaping women’s lives.
In French.
Patricia Plattner guides a lyrical portrait assembled from texts, interviews and testimonies drawn from the books L’Âme du cochon and Le Bazar de la sirène. The film enters the artist’s world and follows her singular journey through voices of collaborators and performers, woven with projections and music. Intimate and textured, it privileges layered testimony over linear biography, exploring memory, creativity and the rhythms of artistic life. Sensory framing and a measured, observational rhythm make the work both personal and quietly revelatory.
In French.
Festival Kurai x Gesa gathers leading and emerging electronic artists across two outdoor stages over three days. The programming blends immersive live sets, modular synthesis and DJ performances with curated production design and light textures that shift from late-afternoon warmth to nocturnal intensity. Expect layered soundscapes, rhythmic drive and communal dance energy, framed by careful sound engineering and stage dramaturgy. Free shuttles link festival stages and the late-night club programme.
Nonante’s Lausanne quartet crafts an elegant, nocturnal new wave: enveloping synthesizers, wave-like guitars, precise rhythms and a clear, centered vocal. Around singer Nicolas Roussi the music builds by contrasts — suspended moments that give way to stronger pulses and open refrains. The band’s sound evokes calm, slightly melancholic urban nights pierced by flashes of light. Line-up: Adrien (bass, synths, drum machines), Ritz (synths), Nico (vocals, guitar), Sebastian (guitar).

présentation des œuvres de trois artistes aborigènes australiens : Abie Loy Kemarre, Janet Long Nakamarra et W. Tjapaltjarri. Un thème qui résonne tout particulièrement avec l’art aborigène, profondément lié à la Terre, aux ancêtres, au vivant et au spirituel.

Geneva Watch Days brings together independent watchmakers and established maisons to present contemporary horology as a field of craft and design. The exhibition assembles over 150 timepieces, including mechanical movements, artisanal finishing and experimental prototypes, ranging from handcrafted complications to concept pieces. Emphasizing materiality and mechanical ingenuity, the presentation explores the tension between tradition and innovation and how makers negotiate identity through movement, dial design and the aesthetics of measurement.
