For its 31st edition, taking place from October 31 to November 9, 2025, the GIFF joins forces with Ensemble Contrechamps to take over the Temple de Plainpalais with LOCUS SOLUS, a series of immersive concerts blending live music and virtual reality.

Conceived as an enhanced listening environment, this immersive and virtual setup offers a new way of experiencing music. Three original VR works for instrumental trio and synthesizer form the core of this journey. They offer a spatial musical immersion, driven by the physical presence of the musicians and the unique qualities of their instruments. Between acoustic textures and extended reality, LOCUS SOLUS pushes the boundaries of the traditional concert format to deliver a singular sensory experience.
