For three days, the MAMAC, its collections, its terraces, and its open-air amphitheater become a playground for artists, choreographers, circus performers, musicians, and actors for surprise encounters and magical moments in harmony with the museum and its architecture.
Wednesday, July 22nd
Outdoor Amphitheater (at 3 p.m. / 4 p.m. / 5 p.m. / 6 p.m.): Acrobat Experience: Powerful and [un]confined carte blanche to Joris Frigerio of the Compagnie les Hommes de mains.
Roof – Terraces (at 9:30 p.m.): Projections and performances, a proposal by the Espace A VENDRE gallery. The “Chats, music and video” program was designed around a video/performance by Thierry Lagalla and artist films or music videos by Louis Jammes, Camille Llobet, and Han Hoogerbrugge. (Duration: 1h30)
Outdoor Amphitheater (at 10 p.m.): Concert by Merakhaazan for the release of the album “Veines” and illumination of the MAMAC facade.
Thursday, July 23rd
6 p.m. Sto’s Conf’erénce: A walk with unsuspected melodies. Presentation of the eco-musical concept “Flute Sons” with demonstrations.
Amphitheater (at 7 p.m.): Musical interlude with the group Ride the Clouds
Composed of three musicians: Aliénor DE GEORGES on electric harp and vocals, François BARUCCO on piano and keyboards, and Julien PEREZ on saxophone and electronics. The original music, sometimes written, sometimes improvised, is created through the meeting between acoustic instruments (piano, harp, saxophone, voice) and an electronic device. Their musical atmosphere, in a jazz-electro-ambient style, invites dreams and travel.
Artist Performances: Pauline Brun “Main” at 7:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., and Anne-Sophie Turion “Regards” at 8 p.m.
Terrace (9 p.m.): The Chelsea Hotel Manifesto by Yves Klein
With actors Felicien Chauveau, Mélissa Prat, and Stephan Ramirez as an external observer – Collectif La Machine (museum and terraces). In 1961, artist Yves Klein (Felicien Chauveau) reflects on his questions and observations about the elements and humanity through his Chelsea Hotel Manifesto. That same year, he makes an offering to Saint Rita (Melissa Prat), patron saint of lost causes. Again, Klein is in search of mystical inspiration. Under the eye of Stephan Ramirez, the Collectif La Machine presents a streamlined, wandering performance within the walls of the MAMAC, from its depths (the Yves Klein square) to its aerial summit.
Terraces (at 10 p.m.): Cine-Concert about Yves Klein with musician Benoit Berrou
Benoit Berrou is a composer, musician, and performer. Leader of the group Benoit & la Lune, composer for theater and cinema, the musician offers a cine-concert about the life and work of Yves Klein. Like the painter, Benoit Berrou invites a live musical creation with a ukulele, electric guitar, and bow as a brush as the musician explores possibilities and builds improvised musical forms.
Terraces (at 11 p.m.): Lighting of Yves Klein’s Wall of Fire
