Children's Day: Gargot de Joc
After having travelled the world, the world's smallest amusement park is stopping in Geneva. A great kingdom of games, for children from 6 to 106 years old. Made of bits and pieces and colourful scrap metal, the thirty or so games designed by Joan Rovira offer a wildly playful second life to discarded objects. In the hands of the Catalan artist, bicycles become birds, ironing boards become tracks for thimble races, and wood boilers become periscopes. Inspired by Calder, Niki de Saint Phalle, Tinguely and Fischli & Weiss, his overflowing imagination awakens ours and creates an irrepressible desire to play, with no age restrictions. Design and production: Maria Valverde, Joan Rovira, Philippe Clerc
