An Echo of Wenders for the Plaza’s Neon Sign
With the new line chosen for the Plaza’s neon sign, Geneva-based artist Christian Robert-Tissot brings us back to Wim Wenders’ foundational film. Released in 1974, Alice in the Cities is a luminous meditation on wandering and rootlessness.
The Plaza and the Mont-Blanc Centre – the building above the cinema theatre – designed by Marc J. Saugey are
iconic examples of post-war modernist architecture in Geneva.
The Plaza was the first cinema in Switzerland to screen in Cinemascope.
Keeping cinema at its core, the Plaza Centre Cinéma will engage with various cultural disciplines and offer a diverse program to a broad audience.
The heritage-listed building is carefully restored since 2020.
