No registration and free admission, materials provided, all ages and accompanied children. Allow around an hour for the workshop to create your own lantern about your beloved animals!

Then come along with your beautifully lit lanterns to the two great parades of the unloved on the last weekend of the Geneva LUX festival, January 31 and February 1 at 6.30pm, starting from the Jardin Anglais.
Music and giant puppets accompany this luminous parade, with a grand acrobatic finale. Parades open to all, with access for wheelchairs, strollers, and all kinds of scaredy-cats!

Funny bestiary... by Jean-Luc Fornelli
2023-10-19 18:00 - 22:00
Jean-Luc Fornelli’s funny little bestiary
Impayable author Jean-Luc Fornelli will give us the immense pleasure of presenting – and varnishing – his brand new, beautiful Étrange Bestiaire at the Bains des Pâquis, on Thursday, October 19, 2023, at 6 pm. A droll collection for all ages, enhanced by hilarious illustrations by Spirou cartoonist Giemsi. Fornelli will be gracing us with a tasty happening of which he has the secret, evoking small and large beasts, of course, but not only that… Book signings and an aperitif are on the merry program. Free admission.
Jean-Luc Fornelli has been delighting us with his poetic humor since 1999! Inventor of the Swiss haikuku under the pseudonym Gossip (yes, it was him!), he recently published “Les Aigrettes”, diary of a poet frosted even in summer. Organizer of lively, naughty and joyful public readings at the helm of La Zéniale Compagnie, Fornelli surprises us once again with “L’Étrange Bestiaire”, as unusual as it is comical, and sure to get your zygomatic muscles firing!
