After 6 days of festival, it’s the end of a sweet daydream. Every day we danced with the effervescent electronic scene, from the Théâtre du Vieux St-Étienne to the Antipode. We were under the spell of the tribal rhythms of a masked band, transported by the contagious loops of local and international artists. We interacted with instrumental sculptures to create sounds and images. Life took shape all around us, even in the sky, as a gigantic tardigrade flew over the city and a tiny robot created architectures of light and shadow. We enjoyed musical naps, improvised and meditative, silhouettes appeared in the dark and gave voice in large luminous balloons…
Told in this way, this edition seems incredible: a poetic and festive interlude, guided by artistic proposals always unexpected! We’ll remember your boundless energy and unfailing curiosity for a long time to come. Thank you so much to everyone: audiences, volunteers, teams and partners. We are deeply grateful by your involvement!
For a gentle return to reality, we invite you to relive the 24th edition in pictures over the next few days! And stay tuned: we’ll be sharing some exciting news about the future of Maintenant very soon!
