HOW LONG DOES THE ANTIGEL FESTIVAL LAST?

24 days, 100s of performances in 23 communities of Geneva.

 

WHEN IS ANTIGEL?

26th January till 17th February 2018.

A SATURDAY IN THE COUNTRYSIDE PLUS AN ORIENTAL MEAL 

A friendly and welcoming meal, where the word “sharing” takes its full meaning. The asylum seekers from the shelter in Presinge prepare a savoury Eritrean breakfast. A day to tell and hear stories, smile and laugh, and a simple opportunity to spend a delicious moment. And who said it was only about the food? The countryside around the village of Presinge is begging to be explored and this is a great opportunity to take a walk there. Chatting, walking, all this to the rhythm of performances and live music with, among others, master Paul Grant and his fantastic Sitar. Stop at Carrat farm in La Louvière, before going to the shelter for a snack that ends this shared moment of warmth.

WHEN: Saturday 27th of January

WHERE: Puplinge

GRAND CENTRAL HIGHLIGHTS

The festival centre stage will be Grand Central 2018 in the Pont Rouge Tower in Lancy as it was in 2017. Festival Antigel creates, every year since 2014, an ephemeral center in a pre-existing industrial place that is currently under construction. In collaboration with the property owners, the festival organisers transform the premises into a Clubbing and Live Center that they have named Grand Central. It is the meeting place of the festival-goers where they can party and enjoy CLUBBING, LIVE PERFORMANCES AND DJ SET nights.

GRAND CENTRAL is in the heart of the PRAILLE ACACIAS and VERNET (PAV) area – the biggest urban project led by the city of Geneva aiming to transform the largest and oldest Geneva industrial area into an urban district. Grand Central will be at the same place as last year but the craters and excavators that surrounded the building have been replaced by towers which have risen out of the ground.

SYRIAN CHEF – RESTAURANT PANORAMIQUE

This area will host a range of interesting events for all ages. The Restaurant Panoramique in Grand Central will features Syrian chef Talal Rankoussi in association with Geneva restaurant Où Bien Encore.

 

ROLLER SKATE OPENING PARTY

Enjoy the 500 metre long track with friends, kids and the dog – why not?

WHEN:  Friday 26th January 2018.

MORE INFO: here.
