On this occasion, HEAD – Genève presented Je m’appelle Heidi, My name is Heidi, 私はハイジです, an immersive performance blending fashion, jewellery, and cinema, reinterpreting the Swiss icon Heidi. The staging, entrusted to Metilde Weyergans and Samuel Hercule Cordonnerie, was based on a research-creation project led by Anita Hugi.

This project was made possible thanks to the support of Presence Switzerland, the Swiss Pavilion, and all those involved — in particular Alexandre Edelmann, Manuel Salchli, Katja Jenni-Szaloky, Célia Arribas, Béatrice Bleuler, Lorenzo Pagnamenta, Michaela Malenchini, and Melicia Geneux. HEAD – Genève warmly thanks them for their dedication.

• Joanna Haefeli, project lead
• Anita Hugi
• Lutz Huelle
• David Roux-Fouillet
• Victor Prieux
