Synopsis
In 1994, Geneva became a canvas for Peter Greenaway's artistic vision. One hundred white wooden staircases were installed throughout the city, inviting the public to climb and engage with their surroundings. Each staircase framed a "living picture postcard," accompanied by a brief commentary in French and English. Performers, representing local characters, enacted choreographed scenes every 15 minutes. The project, titled "The Stairs: Geneva The Location," also included a catalogue and a musical CD, expanding Greenaway's exploration of cinema beyond traditional settings.
