The thirteenth episode of “From Below” series introduces the new neon sign
Every three months, the Plaza’s neon sign is renewed. For this thirteenth episode, Geneva artist Christian Robert-Tissot chose the line “What can I do, I don’t know what to do,” taken from the film “Pierrot le fou” by Jean-Luc Godard.
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.
