From July 10 to August 29, more than 200 artists from various disciplines will take over Le 109. This is as part of the event: “Voilà l’été. A public lighting like no other.”
At 89, route de Turin are former municipal slaughterhouses. But for a few years now, these 18,000 m² have been converted into a hub of contemporary cultures contributing to the city’s cultural influence. Each year, this free event shares this extraordinary space with the citizens.
For nearly a month and a half starting this Friday, the doors open to the public for a cultural and enriching holiday. Seven major weekends are planned with a vast program: contemporary art, music, digital arts, dance, theater, puppetry, open-air cinema, urban arts, broader reflections on art and creation… Visitors are invited to observe and practice from the opening.
