Collaborations (2020-2024)
Raisiñs du Sud, Cecilia Moya Rivera, 2024
On the occasion of the Heritage Days
Performer Cecilia Moya Rivera accompanies us on a walk dictated by visual, aural, olfactory and emotional preferences. The living memory of the people who live in this fragrant Geneva commune is added to the layers of collective and consecrated heritage.
After a year of work and research on intangible heritage and the territory of Vernier, Raisiñs du Sud invited us to reflect on ways of transmission, legitimacies and ancestors.
We listened to insignificant stories (for certain people) and together we turned them into golden anecdotes

Le Chef, Clara Delorme, 2023
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Théâtre Sévelin 36, a very special evening took place, with the Theatre's partner artists, neighbours from the Sévelin district and a few surprises. This was followed by a celebration in the neighbourhood with short in situ performances by partner artists:
Sarah Bucher, Baptiste Cazaux, Géraldine Chollet, Clara Delorme and Mélissa Guex.
For her performance, Clara Delorme bakes the Théâtre's birthday cake, to a piece specially composed by sound artist Garance Bonard - a lento violento version of Happy Birthday To You.
How is it to be like what you are not, Nastasia Meyrat, 2023
The composite practice of visual artist Nastasia Meyrat is peopled by characters who play a metaphorical role in a sensitive and committed approach that asserts utopia as an insurrectionary process.
For Jardin d'Hiver #2, a group exhibition curated by Simon Würsten at the MCBA, the artist has created a textile sculpture representing an oversized slug, as well as a sound piece in collaboration with sound artist Garance Bonard. At regular intervals, a voice emanates from its head to address the audience in English: ‘Are you working too hard? And the philosophical slug launches into a rambling, existential dissertation on the meaning of productivity, (self-)exploitation and competition in a hyper-marketed, star-studded art world.
Santa Sangre, Sabrina Röthlisberger Belkacem, 2021
In eight songs, the film paints the portrait of a broken woman. The video takes the form of a music video, featuring this female character in her quest for acceptance. Moving to the rhythm of poetic music, the character wanders like a lost soul through exuberant nature, among the ruins of once sumptuous architecture, inexorably devoured by a nature that is reclaiming its rights, reclaiming control. Santa Sangre is an open-air fairy tale, a magnificent materialisation of the fall of an empire or civilisation, a kind of metaphor for death and transformation.
LE SANG, Sabrina Röthlisberger Belkacem, 2020
At the end of her residency at the Centre d'Art Contemporain Genève, Sabrina Röthlisberger Belkacem published her collection of poems LE SANG.
The hundred or so poems published in this volume were staged in a performance combining song, sound and dance, created in collaboration with Tamara Alegre (choreography) and Garance Bonard (musical composition). Röthlisberger unveils a screaming text that evokes both her pain and dark eroticism. She is preoccupied with what might be considered a failed life, its completions, its progress and its victories. The performance then gave rise to a visual production, Santa Sangre.
