WIND IN THE WILLOWS – GAOS @ Théâtre de Marens
Nov 6 – Dec 19 all-day
WIND IN THE WILLOWS – GAOS @ Théâtre de Marens

GAOS is proud to present it’s Christmas Show; “The Wind in the Willows” by Kenneth Graham. One of the best-loved works of children’s fiction which follows the adventures of Mole, Rat, Badger, Toad, and their friends. Follow the animals on this comical modern-day production, scripted by Alan Bennet, where their adventures and misadventures populate the entire story. From an idyllic riverside picnic to a snowy encounter in the Wild Woods, and from poop-pooping in Toad’s shiny new motor car to escaping jail! But watch out for the weasels who plot to take down the protagonists and take over Toad Hall. Will they succeed or does good overcome evil?

Save the date! We would love you & your family to join us.

On Fri 6th, Sat 7th, Sun 8th Dec, or Fri 13th, Sat 14th, Sun 15 Dec at the Theatre de Marens, Nyon.

Tickets from 25 CHF!

Ticket sales open Saturday 2nd November through: TheatreinEnglish.ch and GAOS.ch

Doin’ My Drugs Premieres in Switzerland for “Zero Discrimination Day” @ Cinéma CINÉRAMA EMPIRE
Mar 1 @ 11:00 am – 2:00 pm
Doin’ My Drugs Premieres in Switzerland for “Zero Discrimination Day” @ Cinéma CINÉRAMA EMPIRE

Swiss Premiere of Doin’ My Drugs in Geneva followed by a discussion: HIV: 40 years Later, Discrimination Still Kills, with Film subject, recording artist and AIDS activist Thomas Muchimba Buttenschøn; Doin’ My Drugs Documentary director Tyler Q Rosen; Executive Director of the International AIDS Society, Kevin Osborne and Charlotte Sector, the Multimedia Communications Manager of the United Nations (ONU) UNAIDS.
Doin’ My Drugs is the story of musician Thomas Muchimba Buttenschøn—born HIV-positive in 1985—and his crusade to use his music to wipe out AIDS in his native Zambia and beyond. Doin’ My Drugs aims to raise awareness about the ongoing HIV/AIDS epidemic in Zambia—a country of 17 million people where more than 1.2 million are HIV-positive or have the disease. Zambia’s situation is mirrored throughout the developing world.
A father to two young children, Buttenschøn has kept his HIV in check and his family virus-free, by “doin’ his drugs.” He recognized that his native Zambia remains trapped in a horrific and senseless AIDS crisis. While a significant percentage of the population there is infected with HIV, many antiretroviral drug treatment programs that keep the virus dormant—“a near-zero viral load” as Buttenschøn says—are widely available through government programs for free.
