Maintenant 2016
In 2016, Maintenant took the public on a whirlwind tour of sound and light! Gigantic rabbits, an upside-down monumental landscape, a musical playground, marvellous images or metal symphonies were among the adventures to be experienced from 7 to 16 October 2016 in more than 25 venues in the Rennes urban area.
Surprises and unexpected encounters were on the programme of this 16th edition of Maintenant. The Théâtre du Vieux Saint-Étienne, the festival’s central venue, hosted installations, concerts and performances in an innovative configuration.
Maintenant 2016 brought together a vast international cast, without forgetting to support young creation.
