In Saint-Laurent-du-Var, the presentation of the 2012-2013 cultural season is filled with pleasures, desires, and discoveries. Music, theater, dance, revisited literature, visual arts, cinema, and more. In short, an event that brings all trends to life through an eclectic season for everyone and especially by everyone.
Theater Takes Center Stage!
At Théâtre Georges Brassens, you can enjoy “Le bonheur au travail,” a hilarious comedy that is likely to resonate with everyone. The pressure from the boss, an edgy company, and the result is employees being scapegoated. (Friday, October 5th at 8:30 PM) “La nuit des dupes” by Michel Heim will occupy the same stage as the previous play but for something entirely different: a comedy steeped in French History. Imagine D’Artagnan and Louis XIII united on stage to save the royal lineage, or almost. (Friday, November 9th, and Saturday, November 10th at 8:30 PM) And theater isn’t done taking you on a journey through the versatility of a richly colored palette of emotions. Plays from the Avignon Off Festival are on the lineup: “La secrète obscénité de tous les jours” by Marco Antonio de la Parra, “Escroc Thérapie” by Maxime Thevenon, and “L’amour est dans le poste” by Maria Ducceschi.
Music: To Be Enjoyed Without Moderation
Pure talent with noble instruments: Solenne Paidassi and Laurent Wagschal promise ecstasy through their violin-piano duo. (Espace Stéphane Grappelli, Saturday, October 20th at 8:30 PM). Does Franz Liszt ring a bell? Discover a piano concert in tribute to France Clidat, nicknamed “Madame Liszt.” (Auditorium France Clidat, Friday, November 16th at 6:30 PM and 9 PM) Then, it’s the baroque style that invites you to its table with the young Baroque Ensemble of Provence; from Vivaldi to Bach, remember your classics. Music will flow in Saint-Laurent-du-Var to ensure you never lose the rhythm throughout the seasons with: a harp competition, traditional Christmas concerts, “L’Echappée belle” by Johanna Piraino, or even “Le jardin de rêve” in spring by the Jeunesses Musicales de France.
Awakening the Young Audience to Art
Little ones also deserve Culture with a capital C! The city of Saint-Laurent-du-Var has put everything in place to allow our dear little ones to discover literature, theater, and music in a fun and educational way. Storytime evenings, artistic workshops, theater, art from here and especially from elsewhere, so that they open their eyes wide to the world.
From poetry to cinema and exhibitions, it’s just a step away!
With the Spring of Poets, Saint-Laurent-du-Var welcomes lovers of prose who give voice to paper and make words dance. A completely different register with “Les demoiselles de Rochefort,” coming back nostalgically on a big screen in an open-air cinema style on the steps of the Town Hall. And to conclude, there will be Guy Ceppa, a silver medalist of the Academy of Architecture, this fresco restorer and painter takes on a new challenge with his exhibition named “Marine” … Cast off and sail on the ocean of culture that is approaching to grace Saint-Laurent-du-Var.
