The artists, at the invitation of Les Urbains de Minuit, are celebrating Saint Narcissus from October 15th to 29th in 17 cultural venues in Nice.
It is a privileged moment of continuous creation of artistic events, which allows this network to be a true workshop of humanity. They claim NO SPONSOR NO SUBSIDY NO INSTITUTION, meaning 100% freedom and gratuity. That’s the framework.
The opening night of the Saint Narcissus Festival*, it is a STREET that invites the Gallery of Monday, the Gallery of Monday that invites the Urbains, Les Urbains de Minuit that invite Mauro Alpi, the Volume that invites Endemic, the artists of Endemic invited by the Urbains, who invite you — in short, all of this is quite Urbain and all of this happens

Musicians, to your instruments for musical breaks or punctuations, improvised or not, you are free!
Les Ouvreurs participate on the occasion of a special evening at Atelier 81, on Saturday, October 25th. An evening under the auspices of Kenneth Anger during which three of his small experimental masterpieces will be screened. Other creative moments complete the program: puppet performance by Loïc Bettini, intermission by the Cie des Soufflarts, and other films offered by Les Urbains.
THREE FILMS BY KENNETH ANGER…to start
Kenneth Anger is one of the most influential independent filmmakers in the history of cinema. He played a crucial role in the visibility of gay culture within American cinema, his films blending, to varying degrees, surrealism, homoeroticism, and occultism. His work has strongly influenced an impressive number of directors such as Jean Cocteau, Martin Scorsese, David Lynch, or John Waters.
