LUNA NOVA OBSCURA
2026-05-16 09:30 - 13:00
Once a month, at the time of the new moon, the Spa’s wellness area offers quiet, introspective mornings: a suspended moment when we withdraw from the external tumult to reconnect with ourselves. The new moon invites us to take a break and relearn how to listen to silence…
Aufguss ceremonies take place during the morning. This practice of Northern European origin, associated with Finnish and Germanic saunas, consists of an “infusion” of steam flavored with essential oils to increase humidity levels. This purifying collective ritual is designed to intensify the benefits of the sauna through an immersive multisensory experience: intense heat, aromatic scents, sometimes music, for a deep sense of letting go and complete rejuvenation.

Exhibition: River writings
2026-06-05 11:00 - 2026-08-11 20:00
In the summer of 2026, the Musée de Carouge and the Bains des Pâquis will be staging a double event focusing on the Arve and the artist Éric Alibert’s sensitive view of it.
At the Musée de Carouge, the exhibition Les écritures de la rivière invites visitors to a poetic immersion into the world of this Franco-Swiss artist. Through works in Indian ink and watercolor, Éric Alibert explores the discreet richness of the banks of the Arve, carefully observing the fauna, rhythms and forms of living things. His work, which straddles the border between figurative and abstract art, offers a veritable “writing” of nature, where each stroke expresses an intimate relationship between humans and their environment.
As an echo, the Bains des Pâquis are hosting the exhibition Writings of the river. Carouge and the Arve from June 5 to August 11, 2026. Through a series of thematic panels, this presentation offers a historical and documentary reading of the river: its uses, its trades, its developments, and the richness of its flora and fauna. Pieces from the collections of the Musée de Carouge punctuate this open-air tour.
Two complementary exhibitions, combining art and history, to rediscover the Arve as a living landscape and a source of inspiration.

Screening of short films on the pier
2026-06-25 21:30 - 23:30 | On the pier
– Screenings offered by the Spoutnik cinema on the Bains jetty, free admission and films for all audiences.
A satellite cinema within the Usine, a cinema orbiting within Geneva, a cinema gravitating around off-system works, invisible stars or little-known planets, Sputnik is a device for creating microcosms outside the profitability-machine-industry of commercial cinema. It’s a space dedicated to films – but not only – that experiment, seek and question, on the margins.
Sputnik returns with an open-air program for summer 2026 at the BDP: Three films programmed by Sputnik question the collective rituals that make us see and hear the invisible part that links us to the presences of the “possible beyond”. In contrast to the preoccupations of
summer, strange forms of cinema take us elsewhere to worlds that elevate us both sensitively and spiritually. Contemplation, memory, magic and surrealism, the light of the Moon and Water will be our guide to shed light on mysteries that have never been solved.

Mia has spent her whole life freediving, fishing and swimming through seaweed and rocks. Time has passed, transforming her body and the landscapes around her. Loved ones have disappeared. Tonight, Mia remembers.
“Lanawaru (Grandpa Caiman)” by Angello Faccini Rueda, (Mexico, Colombia,USA), 16min, 2024
When a member of the local community disappears, a boy is confronted with a childhood memory, seeking solace in native traditions, healing rituals and his grandfather’s advice.
“Ali” by Adnan Al Rajee, (Bangladesh, Philippines), 15min, 2025
In a coastal town where women are forbidden to sing, a teenager enters a singing competition in the hope of moving to the city, while disturbingly concealing his true voice.
