The Nights

Our nights are as beautiful as our days!

As the daylight starts to fade, the Théâtre Antique, old industrial sites, a bamboo pavilion and many other exhibitions' venues will become unique night-time backdrops for a series of projected images.

DANIEL COHN-BENDIT
Fifty years ago, Gilles Caron’s iconic image put a face on the name of a student protest leader fighting the established order. Since then, Daniel Cohn‑Bendit has embodied a certain idea of freedom. As May 68 is commemorated, we take the opportunity to question his view of history, the power of images and the connections between them.

THE RENCONTRES LIVE MAGAZINE

SATURDAY JULY 7
THÉÂTRE ANTIQUE

Live Magazine is a crazy idea, a unique, ephemeral show. That’s probably the secret of its success. Live Magazine restores all the power of true stories, their ability to captivate, to move and to carry the audience away by inviting 10 photographers, journalists and artists to the Théâtre Antique’s stage.
