XP Unit creates experiences at the frontier of art, technology and design. Founded by designers Tom Formont and Roman Weil, the studio works in various fields such as stage design, dance, performance, fashion and concerts. Their approach is part of a permanent search for new sensitive installations, where technology gives birth to new emotions.
Experimental Party Unit or E.P.U is a festive space composed of a set of kinetic and luminous machines whose vocation is to create a proximity between human and technology.
In the same place, at the Théâtre du Vieux St-Étienne, you can also see Frontier by Encor Studio.
