June kicks off with a bang with the 24th Nuit blanche in Paris !

  Performances sonores et installation déambulatoire, 2025
  If films are leaving cinemas to be seen outdoors this Nuit Blanche, the boum is leaving clubs and private apartments to invade the streets. In an age marked by isolation, Downtown Périgord transforms the party into an experience of collective consciousness. At the heart of this celebration is a mobile sound system, inspired by the popular cultures of Kingston, where music was a tool of social struggle and emancipation.
  In symbiosis with this sound system, Juliette Gelli, multimedia artist and scenographer for Flavien Berger, has created a luminous work of art. Large, sparkling, twisting paintings become in turn light patterns, flashing architectures and swirling surfaces. From afar, these will-o'-the-wisps-on-wheels make a statement. Up close, they give visual rhythm to the dance. Every hour, a pause suspends the dancing journey, giving way to an "American quarter-hour": a disco ball pops up, projecting its sparkles onto the surrounding façades.
  Canal Saint-Martin. Quai de Valmy and Quai de Jemmapes. Paris 10th
