The Nuit Blanche 2026 invites us to a night of art in the heart of Paris, and this year, the Centre Wallonie-Bruxelles is gearing up to dazzle visitors with an exceptional artistic program this Saturday June 6. Nuit Blanche, a night when the City of Light shines even brighter thanks to a multitude of artistic installations, performances and cultural events that spill onto the streets, museums and iconic venues across the capital. This free, now indispensable event offers a unique chance to rediscover Paris in a new light, or rather, under a new night, where contemporary art takes center stage to delight both young and old.
The Centre Wallonie-Bruxelles, located in the heart of the Marais district, is an emblematic cultural venue that has been celebrating French-speaking Belgian talent since 1979. This dynamic, innovative center has made a name for itself on the Paris cultural scene, offering a rich and varied program of contemporary art exhibitions, live performances, film screenings and lectures. With its modern architecture and welcoming spaces, the Centre Wallonie-Bruxelles perfectly embodies the creative, avant-garde spirit of French-speaking Belgium, offering visitors an open window on the Belgian cultural scene right in the heart of Paris.

It’s the perfect occasion to discover—or rediscover—this unique venue in a festive, convivial atmosphere. Art lovers, the curious, and culture enthusiasts will find plenty to explore among the evening’s diverse artistic offerings. Don’t miss this chance to experience an exceptional night, where Belgian art and creativity take center stage in the heart of Paris!
The ((((INTERFÉRENCES)))) festival of sonic substrates positions itself as a flagship for research that self-differentiates, self-edits, and yields erratic arrangements — a festival of the unpredictable, of decoding, of de-queuing, of indeterminacy with a highly poetic flavor carried by artists who hunt buried realities and unsuspected sonorities.
The second day of Intercession launches a sequence of sonic operations where instruments become circuits, movement becomes listening, and voices become circulating matter. The proposals gathered explore forms of learning by doing — making, seeking, modulating — revealing how sound technologies shift attention regimes and redraw the conditions of presence in a place.

((((INTERFÉRENCES)))) Substrate Sound Festival takes up the banner of research that self-differentiates and self-edits—an festival of the unpredictable, of decoding, carried by artists who hunt down buried realities and unsuspected sonorities. It unfolds across the Centre’s spaces through an anarché-exhibition, but also in the time of Intercession Days. These days push the anarché-exhibition further by testing it, circulating it, vibrating it. They crystallize its moments: instants when works cease to be stabilized entities and become evolving situations, experimental protocols, collective ecologies.
They take shape, they occupy, they spill over..!

With PSYKONAUT – VIVANTE, Hugo Vaisselier-Fonfreide tips the installation into an activation regime where sound material becomes a living organism. Traversing distortions, saturated frequencies and psychedelic sheets, the performance unfolds a sensory continuum “from mud to stars,” turning the exhibition space into an unstable resonance zone, swept by breath, vibration and the electric gesture.
'VVV (Variations Vociférantes Virales)' by Jérôme Grivel activates through performance the voices recorded and vocalizations born from a participatory protocol, creating a living soundscape within the exhibition spaces.
As part of the Soft Signal festival’s “Carte Blanche,” Luc Avarguès presents Les bas-côtés, a mobile setup blending installation, performance and shared food. The artist constructs a relational situation rooted in encounter and attention to discreet forms of sociability. At the intersection of poetry, performance and sound processing, Accou Laposte and Marjolein Guldentops develop a proposition based on language fragmentation and voice transformation. Using electronic devices and motion sensors, their performance plays with unstable narrative forms and recomposing soundscapes. Finally, with Oiseaux Fantôme, Hugo Livet’s project, a live electronic set fusing techno, acid house and trance mobilizes bespoke MIDI controllers.
Curated by Stéphanie Pécourt for the exhibition and for Nuit Blanche programming: Isabella D'Aprile & Lucie Legenre in synergy with Stéphanie Pécourt & the Soft Signals festival.
