At the Cimetière des Rois, music performances with piano and song as well as dance, theatre, circus and different interventions are on the programme to pay tribute to the women buried in the Geneva pantheon.

Contemporary artists will thus create ties with writers, artists and painters of different nationalities who have left their mark on the local or international scene.

Tributes will be paid, for example, to the famous Swiss writer Alice Rivaz, the essential Swedish-Swiss sculptor and painter Natascha de Senger and the remarkable Argentine dancer, choreographer and educator Noemi Lapzeson.

Shedding light on the lives of women who have been left in the shadows

This “Ballade des Reines" in such a singular setting helps shed light on the lives of women who have been relegated to the shadows over time while bearing witness to the fact that, even today, it is still important to highlight their contributions. This event, driven by female artists, demonstrates a much-needed solidarity.
