Spectacle son et lumière « Les cinq éléments au MAH »

(English below)

Devenu un rendez-vous pour les genevoises et les genevois, le spectacle son♪ et lumière Wright accompagnera cette année encore le colloque. Il change toutefois de lieu de projection, le bâtiment central d’Uni Bastions étant en travaux, et sera accueilli par le Musée d’art et d’histoire (MAH) du 30 octobre au 20 novembre.

Ainsi, chaque soir, et à trois reprises, la façade côté rue Charles-Galland s’illuminera et s’animera sur des rythmes musicaux. Conçus autour du thème du colloque, le spectacle donnera vie cette année aux cinq éléments fondamentaux sur lesquels les conférences du colloque vont se pencher. Le feu, la terre , l’eau, l’air ainsi que la vie prendront forme sur des tableaux colorés qui ne manqueront pas de ravir le public de tout âge.

The now well-known Wright sound♪ and light show will accompany the conference again this year. However, it will change venue, as the central building of Uni Bastions is under construction and will be hosted by the Museum of Art and History (MAH) from October 30th to November 20th. Each evening, and on three occasions, the façade on the rue Charles-Galland side will be illuminated and animated to musical rhythms. Designed around the theme of the Colloquium, this year’s show will bring to life the five fundamental elements that the conferences will focus on. Fire, earth, water, air and life will take shape in colourful pictures that will delight audiences of all ages.
