Second Sunday Celebration at Le Béaba! This special day is presented in collaboration with Cross Rhymez, a programme of artistic exchanges and residency partnerships bringing together hip-hop artists from Geneva and Amman (Jordan).

DJs, beatboxers and dancers will take over Le Béaba to showcase the richness of Swiss and Arabic-speaking hip-hop, exploring the echoes between their respective scenes and revealing how their artistic worlds meet, respond to one another and create something new together. The musical dialogue unfolds continuously: transitions emerge through improvisation, spontaneous collaborations and ever-evolving soundscapes, with each set flowing seamlessly into a shared collective narrative. 

Rather than presenting a series of separate artistic identities, this takeover is conceived as a space where exchange itself becomes the performance. It embodies the spirit of Cross Rhymez by placing collaboration, collective creation and encounters between artistic languages, generations and influences centre stage.

Children’s disco

Before the takeover, dancer and DJ Nader will invite children and their families on a playful, energetic and participatory musical adventure.

Blending disco, funk, house and rhythm-driven selections inspired by artists from across the Arab world, Nader creates an accessible and joyful introduction to music and movement. Both DJ and performer, he regularly leaves the decks to join the dancefloor, encouraging direct interaction and audience participation.

Conceived as a shared experience where music, dance and play come together, this family-friendly event offers a warm and welcoming introduction to hip-hop culture in its most physical, festive and joyful form.
