Living Art

Cultural highlights throughout the year

Living art events not to be missed

From September to June, the House offers a multidisciplinary cultural program, expanded during peak tourist periods. Specific activities for young audiences and schools are also organized throughout the year. Every summer, the village comes alive with a street performance every Wednesday.

Throughout the year, artistic teams are welcomed in residency. An artistic residency allows an artist-author to benefit from creative time in a dedicated space, with accommodation, support and financial backing. These residencies encourage exchanges with audiences through meetings, workshops, residency showcases or mediation activities, for a sensitive and accessible approach to works.

1336 (Fralibs' Words)

Theater

A social adventure told by Philippe Durand Behind 1336 lies a counting of the days of struggle, those spent from the closure of the Fralib factory until the end of the conflict between Unilever and the workers of the group manufacturing Lipton and Éléphant teas. 1336 is now the new brand of teas produced by the SCOP they created in 2015. 1336 (Fralibs' words) tells the story of this modern David and Goliath battle. Philippe Durand lends his voice to these men and women who, attached to their work and refusing to accept fate, bent the economic giant. The comedian gives body to the encounters he has had, to the interviews he conducted with the Fralibs in their factory, in Gémenos near Marseille, keeping their words intact. This social, human epic traces the great events of this collective adventure.

The Wardrobe

Circus, dance, contortion, Chinese pole

Circus, dance, contortion, Chinese pole The Wardrobe tells the story of the relationship between sisters. We follow the story of their bond, which is sought after, tested, and transformed. Situations are metamorphosed, the entirety of a relationship was contained in that single moment. The Wardrobe is the house, the room, the childhood hideaway. But also a passage to other worlds. A stage object designed to measure, it is looked at closely: the sculpted impost, its interior lined with a strange family tree… It already carries the whole story within itself even before the show begins.

The Epic of Brassens

Theatrical musical documentary

Theatrical musical documentary I am "The Musical Globetrotter", a musician from Sète. I am here to present my show The Epic of Brassens. In this show, we retrace the story of Georges Brassens, from his youth to the end of his career. We invite you to travel through the different periods of his life: his childhood in Sète, the Second World War, his arrival in Paris... This show is aimed at those who wish to discover Brassens in a different way, not only through his songs, but by exploring his entire journey, his convictions and his vision of the world. Its creation required a significant amount of archival work. To bring this epic to life, I am accompanied on stage by Julie Chonchon on double bass, a Brassens enthusiast. Together, we also address the condition of women in his time and Brassens' view on this subject.

Nous, la forêt ou comment se planter / Kif Kif Baron Production / Crédit C. Barbier / Deux hommes sont en équilibre sur un tabouret à côté d'un arbre, ils l'imitent

Us, the Forest or How to Plant Yourself

Circus theater

Circus theater At the foot of a tree, two big children with a disconcerting resemblance seek to plant themselves. Under the attentive gaze of a musician resembling a gardener, they grow and push each other away, cast shadows on each other and take root together. The fraternal relationship blossoms between complicity and rivalry. To the rhythm of the drums, they embark on their imaginary world. Ideas burst forth, apples rise, physical struggles are covered in earth, games multiply... sometimes to the point of overflowing. With humor, naivety and tenderness, these explorers fall into the world and unfurl their branches, filling the blank page with an irresistible quest for life.

Construction Elucubration / Cie Cocasse / Une personne en porte une sconde sur ses épaule debout, elle tient un immense lego qu'elle tend à une personne en hauteur sur une immense tour de lego. Le tout dans un grand champ

Construction Elucubration

Theatre, circus, equilibristics

A street performance combining theatre and circus images, in search of construction and balance. Their bricks are much bigger than the ones children play with, but no matter, to build, the important thing is to carefully follow the instructions. Or not. These three characters will discover that following the imposed model is not necessarily to everyone's taste and that their imagination can push them to explore new possibilities, to travel in their imagination and to set aside the assembly instructions.
