Grab the thread\, then rewind. 2023\, 2022\, 2021\, the years go by with their share of anguish\, havoc\, disaster and anguish… from one end of the planet to the other. What if all the world’s media and newspapers suddenly began to present this reality\, which is losing its meaning\, bomb after bomb\, in its poetic guise? \n In the author’s own words\, the Fil info can first and foremost serve as a return to the past. The events mentioned come from our most concrete reality\, and each of us still remembers this or that event that made the headlines\, before falling back into obscurity just as quickly. Le Fil info responds to this by offering a series of dated\, daily prose poems that take these anecdotes and turn them on their head. They offer a way of traveling back in time\, questioning what was\, at the time\, our preoccupying current affairs with humor\, shift and irony. \n Fil info is a constant poetic experience… \n Pascal Nordmann\, Swiss writer\, visual artist and theatre-maker\, will be on hand to read a selection of these texts\, published by Les Carnets du Dessert de Lune in June 2025.

And what happens when this violence is no longer merely structural\, but provokes irreversible action? \nFor this Philo aux Bains event\, we welcome Nicolas Framont\, sociologist and editor-in-chief of Frustration magazine\, for a discussion based on two of his books: Parasites and Saint-Luigi: comment répondre à la violence du capitalisme. \nIn Parasites\, Nicolas Framont dismantles a well-honed ideological mechanism: that of designating certain populations as “welfare recipients”\, “profiteers” or “burdens” on society. Against this rhetoric\, he asks a simple\, incisive question: who is really living off whom? Through a sociological and political analysis\, he shows how the accusation of parasitism serves to mask the true relations of exploitation and protect the interests of the dominant classes. \nWith Saint-Luigi\, he takes a different approach\, more directly rooted in a tragic news item: the murder of Brian Thomson by Luigi Mangione. Based on this event\, Nicolas Framont proposes a reflection on political and social violence. What does such an act say about the times in which we live? How can we understand how an individual could commit such an irreparable act in the name of denouncing capitalism? And above all: how can we respond to systemic violence without tipping ourselves into a logic of destruction? \nAs always at Philo aux Bains\, this meeting is intended as a space for collective reflection\, taking the time to consider the tensions of our times – and the possible paths towards greater justice. \nThe meeting takes place as part of the FIFDH. \nUnder the yurt\, free admission.

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.

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.

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\nProgram: IIRRM URL:https://aubp.ch/en/event/the-springs-of-the-imagination-always-end-up-forming-a-lake/ LOCATION:On the pier CATEGORIES:Culture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://aubp.ch/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Capture-decran-2026-02-27-165222.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Zurich:20260411T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Zurich:20260411T120000 DTSTAMP:20260407T005410 CREATED:20260323T085927Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260324T155759Z UID:10027966-1775905200-1775908800@aubp.ch SUMMARY:Cancelled : Apéro poétique DESCRIPTION:The apéro poétique with Bessa Myftiu on Saturday April 11 at 11am has been postponed until October. \n  URL:https://aubp.ch/en/event/poetic-aperitif-27/ CATEGORIES:Poésie ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://aubp.ch/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/4rxd4QZQ-2.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Zurich:20260418T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Zurich:20260418T120000 DTSTAMP:20260407T005410 CREATED:20260323T085052Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260323T085052Z UID:10027965-1776510000-1776513600@aubp.ch SUMMARY:Poetic aperitif DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, April 18\, as part of the DIAL A POEM project\, Julien Maret will be a guest at Les Bains des Pâquis. \nAs part of the Apéros Poétiques series\, the author will read a previously unpublished piece written especially for this event at Les Bains. \nJulien Maret lives and works in Geneva.\nIn the past\, he founded and edited the magazines *L’Ablate* and *Coma*.
