The workshops offered throughout the weekend will, in turn, introduce young audiences to instruments, singing, and body music. The exhibition by artist Aicha Hamu is also on the long list of events not to be missed. The Off will finally allow discovering concerts and activities outside the walls at the Laure Ecard hall and the Mercury cinema.
