For the opening of its 13th edition and for the first time, the Groove'N'Move festival will invest the Museum of Art and History of Geneva. On this occasion, 4 dance performances will be presented within the museum, offering a dialogue with the museum's collections:

The Brainstorm company will perform “Balade”, a piece that will echo the paintings of Ferdinand Hodler.

The performer Phax, a specialist in slow motion, also in the fine arts collection, will play a solo inspired by the expressions and faces of Italian Baroque paintings.

The Anthrop company will dance a live adaptation of its video project “Urban Haïkus: #Stairs”, in the monumental staircase of the museum.

Finally, the members of the Anothai company, inspired by ancient sculptures, will dance in the Egyptian and Greek halls.
