SUMMARY:Dial-a-poem Switzerland
DESCRIPTION:To mark the inauguration of the DIAL-A-POEM SWITZERLAND project\, MAMCO\, in collaboration with the Bains des Pâquis\, invites you to a festive evening to discover the exhibition dedicated to the poet John Giorno and his poems by telephone. \nIn 1968\, the American poet John Giorno (1936-2019) launched Dial-A-Poem. He integrated poetry into everyday life: it was broadcast by telephone\, and performed rather than written. Almost 60 years after that first version\, MAMCO\, in collaboration with Giorno Poetry Systems (GPS)\, is organizing Dial-A-Poem Switzerland\, bringing together voices from Switzerland’s different linguistic regions. Poets\, writers\, thinkers\, theater and film personalities\, lyricists: all have forged their means of expression from the word\, its meaning and its sound.    \nThe project was launched in the open air of the Bains des Pâquis\, where a telephone was installed in an old telephone booth. Alongside the jetty\, an exhibition on John Giorno is being held. It evokes the literary and artistic currents that ran through his career: the Beat Generation\, visual poetry\, the underground scene\, Pop Art and the technological experimentation of the New York art scene. One of Geneva’s most popular venues thus becomes the stage for these literatures of yesterday and today\, and offers as many gifts to those who pick up the phone or call the Dial-A-Poem Switzerland number.    \nFrom March 28 to May 10\, daily from 8am to 8pm.

SUMMARY:Philo aux Bains: Science\, knowledge and mysteries of the animal body with Virginie Jean
DESCRIPTION:What if certain practices escaped the all-too-simple categories of “science” or “superstition”? \nWhat if\, between technical gesture and intuition\, between accumulated experience and mystery\, there were another way of inhabiting the world? \nAs part of the Festival Histoire et Cité\, whose theme for 2026 is “Comme par magie” (As by magic)\, Philo aux Bains is delighted to welcome Virginie Jean\, cow whisperer. \nIn contrast to a strictly technical vision of animal care\, his work is part of an ancient tradition: that of the “rebouteux” and “rebouteuses”\, who\, through touch\, close observation\, listening to the body and empirical knowledge often transmitted outside academic frameworks\, relieve\, heal and rebalance. \nIs it folk knowledge? An art of gesture? A form of magic?   \nWhat does it mean to “care” when you’re working with living beings\, in close proximity to the body? \nHow can we think about these practices in a world dominated by scientific veterinary medicine? Opposition\, complementarity\, cohabitation?  \nThis meeting will be an opportunity to explore the tensions – but also the possible dialogues – between rationality and belief\, tradition and modernity\, the visible and the invisible. \nIn the course of the discussion\, we’ll also question our contemporary relationship with living things: what does caring for animals say about our way of being in the world? What is legitimate knowledge? Who decides what’s science and what’s folklore?   \nThe meeting will take place at the Bains des Pâquis\, on the pier\, under the yurt. Free admission.

SUMMARY:The springs of the imagination always end up forming a lake
DESCRIPTION:“The springs of the imagination always end up forming a lake”.  \nan exhibition\, performances and stories to illuminate the mysterious\nMarch 29\, 2026 from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm as part of the Festival Histoire et Cité\n\nAt the crossroads of the arts\, sciences and cultural heritage\, this initiative proposes to turn the territory from a mere setting into a space for shared narratives\, conveying meaning\, belonging and relationships. In this way\, the place becomes alive\, not through its materiality alone\, but through the stories that run through it and the links it generates\, enabling everyone to become part of it\, to recognize themselves in it and to experience it. To live the territory is also to tell its story.  \n\nA proposal fromIIRRM\n\nSince its creation\, theInstitut International de Recherche sur la Radio et la Magie (IIRRM) has explored the relationship between magic\, art and science\, with the ambition of questioning dominant cultural narratives and renewing the ecology of the senses. The project Les sources de l’imaginaire finissent toujours par former un lac (The springs of the imaginary always end up forming a lake) is part of this line: beyond the transmission of a rich intangible heritage\, it questions contemporary societal and ecological issues by reaffirming the role of the marvellous in our collective imaginations. \n\nProgram of talks and performances\, from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm:   \nFlash training – Guardians of Lake Geneva stories  \nMaryne Lanaro\nContinuous 30′ storytelling on the pier\nSupported by the E.S.I.M. association\, this flash course is an immersion in the ecology of storytelling. At the crossroads of neuroscience\, mythology and life sciences\, it explores a simple yet powerful idea: when stories stop circulating\, places become impoverished. Through a founding myth of Lake Geneva\, collective practices and ritual gestures\, participants become guardians of stories – responsible for their transmission\, transformation and symbolic power. An intergenerational experience\, joyful and engaging\, to relearn how to listen to places and tell stories in a different way.   \n\nIntroduction to the notion of wave epidermis by Jeska Kaola  \nPaul Courlet\nPerfomance\, storytelling\, music 40′ around 4:00 pm\nIn this mini-conference\, Paul Courlet immerses us in the work of Jeska Kaola\, an avant-garde intuitive researcher who evoked the notions of brain waves\, synchronization and trance in her 1808 essay Épidermes ondulatoires (Kaola\, Jeska\, Epidermes ondulatoires Édition Solaris\, 1808). Disappeared from the radar and reviled by the scientific community\, she was in her time a precursor of therapeutic hypnosis and anticipated the discoveries about brain function made later through brain imaging. She was also close to the famous international trader Jaklos Bariolez Igwan (1755-1816)\, renowned for his audacity and divinatory powers.  \n\nThe lake lamp  \nDiederik Petters\nPerformance\, installation\, narrative 25′ continuous in the Yurt\nWhat do luminous objects have to say when we finally give them a voice? In this sound installation\, it’s light that plays the leading role: a simple electric bulb on a stand. It flickers. But even more astonishing: it speaks. Could it be that this lamp has emerged from the abyssal depths\, from the compact blackness at the bottom of Lake Geneva? A ghostly lamp that seems to carry sunken stories – tales of wrecked ships\, missing scenes\, lives or voices that have sunk into the lake – but also\, the tale of its own invention.     \n\nA MOBILE EXHIBITION WITH  \nMATHILDE TINTURIER\, HENRY DELÉTRA HANNA\, STEPHANIE PFISTER  \n\nAND A LISTENING LOUNGE WITH\nERIC DESJEUX\, JEAN-BAPTISTE MOLINA\, MARYNE LANARO\, EVA ZORNIO\, PAUL COURLET\, DIEDERIK PETEERS

SUMMARY:Dance festival
DESCRIPTION:The Geneva Dance Festival celebrates its 20th edition from May 6 to 10\, 2026! In the spotlight\, the Bains des Pâquis will host the inaugural evening\, a retrospective exhibition\, two national shows and many other delights. Welcome!   \nThe inaugural evening will take place on Thursday\, May 7. It begins with the opening of the photography exhibition\, followed by JINX 103\, the show that marked the Fête de la Danse 15 years ago. In this show\, Genevan dancers Jozsef Trefeli and Gabor Varga draw on their Hungarian folk heritage to create a rhythmic work combining body percussion and rapid movement.   \nThe evening will continue with a DJ set by Ubuntu Live\, for a vibrant and festive Afrobeat atmosphere – ideal for swaying and celebrating together! \nOn Sunday\, May 10\, the week ends in style with tai chi and afrodance classes\, punctuated by two shows on national tour as part of the Fête de la Danse. With Le Cycle\, Compagnie Kane explores the link between growth\, decline and renewal in nature. Power guaranteed!   \nWith OUVERTURE\, Géraldine Chollet takes her inspiration from medieval mystery theater\, blending the sacred and the profane. The audience\, forming a circle\, becomes an actor in the ritual: performers dance in the center\, sometimes joining the procession\, then returning to it\, creating a collective whirlwind.  \nThis anniversary edition of the Fête de la Danse can be enjoyed in 9 towns\, with a fun-filled program featuring 200 activities. Shows\, parties\, initiations… Whatever your age or style\, come and celebrate dance with us!
