THE BALLET AT LA BÂTIE

As we welcome Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, La Bâtie-Festival de Genève invites the Geneva Ballet to the Château Rouge main stage with the revival of two original works by the Belgian choreographer. A premiere for the Ballet and the first stop of a new tour, as we turn a new page for the company and the transnational community of Greater Geneva.

THE BALLET MEETS L’ORCHESTRE DE CHAMBRE DE GENÈVE

In search of altercations at interdisciplinary crossroads, a few dancers from the Geneva Ballet, in the company of the Swiss drums wizard Arthur Hnatek and conductor Marc Leroy-Calatayud, will be revisiting some of the best numbers from the classical – and not-so-classical – repertory: from Claude Debussy to Steve Reich via that fine fellow Witold Lutoslawski, you won’t know where to put your ears… or feet, because yes, you’re in for a danceable end to the evening!

LE BALLET IS EXHIBITED AT THE MAH

As the Swiss visual artist Ugo Rondinone takes over Geneva’s Museum of Art and History with an exceptional exhibition of his work, Fouad Boussouf, with whom he partners for an exciting new programme in April with the Geneva Ballet (TRACES / VÏA), will infiltrate the body of the museum with the help of our dancers.

IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF SIDI LARBI CHERKAOUI

Once upon a time, before he became the star choreographer he is today, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui staged his first work… at the Grand Théâtre de Genève in 2003. 20 years later, the Geneva’s Ballet Junior revives his far-away Loin.
