Brigitte Sion, an international expert in museography, memorials and heritage, chairs the scientific advisory board of the Izieu Memorial and co‑authored Nuremberg: The Trial Album (Tallandier, 2025) with Matthias Gemählich and Stéphanie Boissard. Drawing on a selection of seventy archival photographs—some previously unpublished—the lecture examines how visual testimony illuminates the judicial and historical dimensions of the Nuremberg trials and reflects on memory and memorial practices.

Watch&Match brings together independent watchmakers, designers and collector curators to showcase mechanical timepieces and artisanal watch objects. The presentation focuses on materiality, precision and the mechanics of miniature craftsmanship, revealing how form and engineering coalesce in contemporary horology. Works range from rare pieces and bespoke commissions to conceptual explorations of timekeeping. The exhibition examines heritage, technical skill and the personal narratives embedded in objects, inviting reflection on craft, design and the culture of collecting.
Five bodies in a landscape of ash prepare for what they do not yet know. Guided by cephalopod imagery, the performers move between intention and intuition, thought and sensation. This optimistic piece probes our anxieties while championing collective resilience and childish wonder. The choreography blends precise ensemble composition with impulsive, instinctive gestures, creating intimate, atmospheric tableaux. Lighting and sound sculpt a fragile, shifting world that invites viewers into a shared experience of uncertainty and hope.

Festival des 5 Continents presents a curated panorama of world cinema: competitive and out-of-competition films, special screenings and a section for emerging voices. The programme highlights auteur cinema, daring narratives and diverse perspectives, favouring bold visual styles and intimate storytelling. Through screenings, talks and encounters, the festival offers a space to discover new talents and reassess cinematic traditions, celebrating cross-cultural dialogues and the emotional power of film.
These two evenings present the work of Anna-Marija Adomaitytė, Jerson Diasonama and Maud Blandel, created through collaborative dialogue with non‑professional participants. Across performance, film projection, collective listening and polyphonic conversations, the programme explores how encounters reshape artistic practice and affect those involved. Three works are presented: La Vraie Version (radio piece), I Think You Should Be Here (short film) and Jogo de Dentro (performance).
In French.
Jean Felzine, a singer-songwriter from Clermont-Ferrand, brings a cinematic, American-inflected pop that oscillates between raw honesty and careful craft. Drawing on 50s rock, French chanson and electronic loops, his Vostok Session performance reframes songs from his solo album Chord Memory alongside material from past projects and collaborations. His voice navigates intimate, nostalgic tones and playful pop hooks, while understated arrangements evoke warm, retro-tinged atmospheres that invite focused listening and quiet reflection.
Le Truc sur le feu is a playful, offbeat fable that examines how the domestication of fire shaped human life. Written by Romane Nicolas, the piece stages two Paleolithic clans who wonder, clash and ignite as puppets by the Kokoschka tradition bring grotesque situations to life. With incisive humour and sharp theatricality, the show confronts ideas of progress, individuality versus community, animality and civilisation, offering a vividly staged reflection on the choices that set societies alight.

Jean Anouilh’s Souvenirs d’un jeune homme is a tender, witty theatrical confession that traces an improbable youth from advertising to the theatre’s backstage. Performed by two virtuoso actors, the staging balances humour, poetry and subtlety, weaving anecdotes and unexpected encounters into a lively portrait of artistic passion and insouciance. The production highlights sharp writing and delicate interplay between performers, offering an intimate, humane experience of memory and theatrical longing.

For its 30th anniversary, Zébra Lab invites Marseille’s Labo l’Argent for a programme of analogue cinema exploring the idea of making films differently. The screening presents short works by Éloi Calame, Jacques Sorrentini Zibjan, Balthazar Wyss, Malou Six and Anouk Moyaux, from Super‑8 and 16mm experiments to 2K transfers. The selection highlights tactile film processes, collaborative craft and the fragile transmission of analogue techniques, evoking memory, materiality and shared cinematic gestures.
Led by conductor Matthieu Schweyer, Orchestre Concertus presents Mozart’s Requiem with soloists Alida Barbasini (soprano), Mi‑Young Kim (mezzo‑soprano), Daniel Duri (tenor) and Seong‑Ho Han (bass). The performance balances intimate choral passages and thunderous orchestral climaxes, exploring grief, transcendence and ritual. Sparse orchestration and dramatic vocal lines are shaped with attention to dynamic contrast and vocal colour, creating a moving, cinematic soundworld that alternates between hushed prayer and overwhelming intensity.
Created and performed by Anne-Sophie Turion, Grandeur Nature is an audio-guided promenade that lets listeners slip into the intimate lives of strangers. Wearing headphones, the audience follows a voice-over that transforms ordinary streets, parking lots and public gardens into a theatrical, subtly augmented reality. Real residents become the protagonists of a narrative woven from their own stories, producing a delicate, poetic exploration of the everyday and the hidden resonances of urban life.

Moon’s Mood is a duo blending rap, soul, folk and jazz, led by Nelo on vocals and guitar and Imagine on rap and vocals. Through sensitive, immersive original compositions the group creates a poetic universe of groove and harmony. With their new album Dreamful Memories they embrace a more organic, live jazz approach, here enriched by guest musicians Erwan Valazza (bass), Shems Bendali (trumpet) and Maxence Sibille (drums). The set explores soulful textures, jazz flights and hip‑hop rhythms.
