What if we went backwards through one of Geneva’s cultural hotspots? A unique creative journey to the heart of the Saint-Gervais Theatre through its most secret entrances.

Have you ever dreamt of discovering Geneva from its rooftops? We promise you this total thrill from one of the most beautiful viewpoints of the city. One of the most discreet too. To get a taste of this pleasure, we’ll do everything in reverse, walking through a succession of enigmatic floors and illuminated corridors, entrances containing treasures and terraces that you wouldn’t even know existed. There’ll be music, of course, as well as a series of mazes through which you’ll lose your bearings and find your way back before finally reaching the pinnacle. Once up there, you’ll take your time, because you’ll indeed be on top of the world. On 15 and 16 February, the experience will begin with Relay, a creation by Ula Sickle. The following days will be all about the installation…

"RELAY" BY THE CHOREOGRAPHER ULA SICKLE
A black flag floats in continuous motion. Its movement and the flapping of the fabric become both choreography and sound. Presented as a single continuous action, Relay draws its inspiration from the many recent protests taking place around the globe, the mass marches in Poland, in defense of women’s rights, called “Czarny Protest” (Black Protest). The black flag cannot be linked to one particular battle and hence defies easy interpretation. The Polish Canadian choreographer Ula Sickle and a diverse group of performers relay one another in a fascinating test of endurance. Their movements pass back and forth between inertia and hope, resistance and powerlessness. They each individually take on the responsibility to keep the flag moving, but it is the collective effort required that makes Relay such a powerful symbol.

INSTALLATION FROM 17 TO 19 FEBRUARY 2022 FROM 7PM TO 9PM
