Get ready for a night like no other! Nuit Blanche returns this year on June 3, 2023, and promises to be a festival of light, color and creativity, transforming the streets of Paris into one big open-air museum. For those unfamiliar, Nuit Blanche is an annual cultural event where monuments, museums, libraries and other cultural venues open their doors all night long to host unique art installations, performances and exhibitions.

One of the highlights of this year's event is the Réserves de la Frac Île-de-France in Romainville. Frac Île-de-France is an institution dedicated to the dissemination and promotion of contemporary art in the region. With an exceptional collection of contemporary works, the Frac is known for its commitment to emerging and established artists, as well as for its innovative exhibition program. For Nuit Blanche 2023, the Frac is collaborating with the Fiminco Foundation to offer an unforgettable artistic experience.

The installation-performance"ENSEMBLE CONTRE ORGUE DE BARBARIE" by Mathis Collins is a veritable spectacle in its own right, promising immersion in the history and culture of Paris through a monumental barrel organ activated by a 100-meter musical cardboard box.

This emblematic instrument of 19th-century street music will resonate into the night with an uninterrupted recital of songs and images created by Collins and various people he met during his workshops and wanderings through the streets of Paris. This artistic installation, both historical and contemporary, is a unique experience not to be missed!
