CULTURE Outings of the week: Sevillian mass, Blue Hotel in the priest’s garden, Alès in the sky…

Non-prescription therapy

Culture is a natural anti-depressant without any side effects except perhaps happiness and ataraxia, a certain tranquility of the soul. From Vigan to Arles, find shows every week not to be missed at reasonable prices, while waiting for them to be reimbursed by social security.

Pamper the right hemisphere of your brain every week, the side effects will be felt quickly.

The Sainte-Perpétue Church will host the traditional Sevillian mass of the Pentecost feria on Monday May 25 at 11 a.m. After the RocÃo parade through the streets of the city center, riders, dancers and faithful dressed in Andalusian costumes will join the church to the sound of flamenco songs and sevillanas.

Every year, this event brings together several hundred people in a unique atmosphere, far from the nocturnal tumult of the bodegas. An Andalusian interlude that has become essential in the program of the Nîmoise feria.

 

Blue Hotel brings together Juliette, Samuel, Johanna and Gabriel around a repertoire built from the songs that have marked their musical career. The quartet crosses the great American folk songs, Anglo-Saxon pop and French-speaking productions. Paul McCartney, Francis Cabrel, Joan Baez, Barbara, Taylor Swift and Georges Brassens meet in the same program.

Juliette Latil on vocals and percussion, Samuel Augustin on guitar, bass and vocals, Gabriel Maurin on vocals and guitar, as well as Johanna Roudil on vocals and percussion. The concert will take place at the Jardin du Curé in Pujaut.

 

From Friday May 29 to Sunday May 31, the town of Alès will host a new edition of Alès en Ciel at the Tempéras arenas. For three days, the festival will offer an eclectic musical program designed around free access and open to all.

The full list of artists and concert times are available on the official festival website.
