Meyrin Culture
Season 2025-2026
- Founded decades ago, the Service de la Culture of Meyrin now operates as a single, unified entity (since 2023), orchestrating a wide-ranging cultural agenda across theater, visual arts, heritage, mediation, library services, and neighborhood life. Its programming weaves together the dynamic Forum Meyrin—a cultural landmark since 1995—and an ambitious Fonds d’Art Contemporain that integrates public art into the commune’s fabric.
- Driven by values of participation, accessibility, diversity, empowerment, and transformation of society, Meyrin’s cultural ecosystem spans seasonal performances, citizen co-creation, public exhibitions, art-making, and playful educational formats.

Danny and Pepijn, father and son, belong to a long lineage of circus artists. Their family has been hitting the road for over a century! Now reunited in the ring, the sixth and seventh generations deliver a funny and moving performance about family legacy and the vital bond between performers and their audience.

Dreams, magic, desire, thwarted love, storms of passion, and endless misunderstandings: A Midsummer Night’s Dream holds such depths that an army of psychoanalysts could spend a lifetime deciphering its symbols. Perhaps it’s Shakespeare himself, not just dreams, who offers the royal road to the unconscious…

To dance is to allow the body to exult. It’s liberating; it lets you feel the lava of expression flowing through your veins like a healing burn. Dancing is all that—but not only. Through its participative approach, the Cie NoTa & Guests demonstrate that choreography can also be a powerful tool for social change.
- Location: Meyrin
Madame Arthur fait son opéra, the show that triumphed at the 2024 Festival Off in Avignon! Five dazzling performers transcend the boundaries between cabaret and opera. Sopranos, tenors, and baritones magnify lyrical art in an explosion of generosity, drama, and extravagance, all while reinventing classical opera. Experience a show where emotion, theatricality, and subversion know no limits.

As children, who hasn’t woken up in the middle of the night, utterly disoriented in their bedroom? With fabulous creatures lurking in the shadows, waiting just beyond the edge of vision—now menacing, now friendly? This is the starting point of Bachibouzouk, a strange and twilight marriage of dance and object theatre.

Music needs no translator. A universal language and a powerful tool for connection, music defies walls, cuts through barbed wire, and breaks down barriers. That’s why the Sésame project lives on…
- Location: Meyrin
The final part of Marcus Lindeen’s Identity Trilogy, The Invisible Adventure—like Orlando and Mikael and Wild Minds—draws on extensive research and interviews. At the heart of the dramaturgy lies a central question: what defines a personality when the self begins to falter under the blows of fate?
- Location: Meyrin
Every Venetian or anyone in love with the Serenissima knows it: on acqua alta days, you’d better be fully geared up with boots, a raincoat, and an umbrella, and avoid slipping off the pedestrian walkways unless you want to end up soaked. In this show, on a rainy day, the rising waters flood the house where a man and a woman live together in discord…

Long live statistics! Did you know that 15% of adults still live with their parents? That 25% of French people are afraid of sharks? That 63% of children in Meyrin think the Forum is a castle (especially at night, when it sparkles)? As for Axelle and Axel, they’re among the 14% of couples who can’t have children. One day, a strange young girl shows up at the home of these highly qualified statisticians…

We think we know the story by heart: a kind-hearted girl sets off to bring butter and cake to her sick grandmother, meets a sly wolf, naively confides in him, and ends up—along with her grandmother—in the belly of the beast… or not. But we often forget that the different versions of the tale offer very different morals.
- Location: Meyrin
The small town of Baume-les-Messieurs, 1998. Mallorie, Farah, and the others, teenagers shaped by a deep artistic sensibility, navigate the turbulence of their first romantic and sexual awakenings. They’re in search of themselves. One day, their ballet teacher is replaced by a man who is both passionate… and unsettling.
- Location: Meyrin
Loosely inspired by the graphic novel Naturellement by Yannis La Macchia, Futur(s) is a creation that offers a quirky visual universe, thanks in part to the use of mixed reality headsets.

Going to the theatre the way one plays hooky: that, in broad strokes, is the proposition of multifaceted artist Rémi Dufay. From the outset, the audience of D’amour et d’eau fraîche is welcomed by a director who “would prefer not to.” Yes, not to perform the scheduled play that evening. How about a trip to the seaside instead?

Space exploration is a fascinating topic. But what exactly drives us to travel, to migrate, to dream of the stars for ages, and strive to break free from the gravitational well we call home? This delightful one-person show offers the beginnings of an answer. Three, two, one… ignition!
