Comedians’ Spring: a second international and women’s weekend
Continuation of the Spring of Comedians with a second weekend with an international and feminine tone. We can see Ayoub (Friday at 7 p.m. and Saturday at 5 p.m.) by Argentina’s Marina Otero, who transforms the story of an aborted love story in Morocco into an intense performance where the intimate confronts the legacies of colonialism and contemporary geopolitical divides. Another first in France, Outside the walls by Emma Dante (Friday and Saturday at 10 p.m.), who we see a lot here: the Italian makes the street a theater of chaos where ordinary existences confronted with solitude, violence and the fractures of the contemporary world intersect. Finally, Angélica Liddell offers Seppuku (Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 6 p.m.), a metaphysical experience inspired by Mishima and the Nô theater, where ghosts, samurai and living bodies mingle in a ritual universe between pleasure and pain.
The asphalt will be hot in Juvignac this weekend with the 34 Degrees festival which highlights street shows, circuses and music, with a dose of street art. It starts slowly on Friday from 6 p.m. with a fresco painted live by the artist Fahrenheit. The only evening show will be Happy Apocalypse To You At 7 p.m., a duo of clowns mixing Chinese pole, DJ scratching, acrobatics and rap. On the music side, on the program: folk/bluegrass with Appaloosa, urban pop by Loïs Hammel and mixed funk by Mango Mango, for an early evening atmosphere that increases in intensity. Saturday, the program is more extensive. From 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., workshops for children are offered. At 3:30 p.m., Greek mythology is revisited with humor and modernity by the Papier Machins company. At 5 p.m., Jérôme Hoffmann offers an immersive, sound and visual show. At 7:30 p.m., we discover a burlesque and inventive adaptation of Miserablebefore seeing or rewatching at 8:30 p.m. I hate kids of the Hérault-based company Internationale Alligator, the famous CIA. The day will end in music with Konvoi Exceptionnel, a Montpellier konpa, zouk and cadence group, for a festive and dancing finale.
Waya Festival : Montpellier à l’heure latino
The Waya Festival is back for a fifth edition offering a long day of Latin-American and Caribbean sounds. Two stages allow you to discover both local emerging talents and international artists. This year, the festival hits hard with the presence of British DJ Quantic, a major figure in the mix between electronic music and Latin-American sounds. At home, cumbia and salsa mix with trip-hop and funk. Also on the program: the reggaeton of Sergio Alejandro, the electronic sounds of Jimena Angel and the salsa of the Eletumba’O orchestra. An entertainment village completes this festive day.
Lorie Party
Icon of an entire generation, Lorie will return to the stage of the Zénith Sud in Montpellier with “Lorie Party”, a show designed as a great celebration of more than twenty years of career. On the program: the essentials of his repertoire, a few surprises and an enriched staging with musicians, dancers and new decor. “I want the audience to sing, dance and be part of the show,” the artist told us, who promises a festive atmosphere inspired by the world of clubs. Between nostalgia, emotion and communicative energy, the singer intends to revive her famous “positive attitude”. In the first part: Julien de Bomerani.
A German Requiem – Johannes Brahms
A German Requiem – Johannes Brahms
Far from the Catholic liturgical tradition, A German Requiem opus 45 by Johannes Brahms, a monumental score for soloists, choir and orchestra, draws on the texts of Holy Scripture to deliver a message of hope and consolation. Composed in seven movements, this “requiem of hope” combines gravity, fervor and bursts of light, in a writing that testifies to Brahms’ attachment to the German masters, from Bach to Handel.
