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?

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

Art Home 42 is the launch of the first edition of a temporary 2-days gallery combining contemporary art and interior decoration. The aim of the event is to break with the codes of traditional galleries in order to promote accessible art & designer furniture.
A space in which we will be recreating living spaces out the selected designer furnitures & showcase artworks of local artists. During this event, we will be organising talkshows around decoration, with designers, interior architects and experts from auction houses on contemporary art.
It’s a brand new concept in Geneva that has never been organised before and we would be really delighted to present a selection of works and furniture.
