Two evenings will liven up the week on the Florida side with an followingwork and a “caroming” evening that promises to do artistic damage!
On the eve of the Montparnasse Musique concert, the Agen theater will give the A from Thursday, November 17 from 6:30 p.m., around an followingwork. A way to shed even more light on the work of director and photographer Renaud Barret “around the urban jungle of Kinshasa, from social and political chaos to the prolific emerging art scene”. Visitors will be able to discover a whole series of photos and especially the film “System K”. At the end of this screening, he will answer all the questions during a discussion period.
A now usual meeting
The next day, at 8:30 p.m., the Florida offers a pile-up evening. An appointment now well recorded on the Agen scene. The goal is very simple with the meeting of two groups who do not know each other. Different origins, universes that are just as different for a unique creation that will therefore be born on the Florida stage.
In this case, the French group Commandos Percus and the South Africans Montparnasse Musique accepted this challenge. From this Wednesday, November 16, the two groups will meet on the Florida side to prepare this unique creation, during a three-day residency. Which promises a beautiful artistic and explosive explosiveness. On Friday evening, the two groups will perform their original repertoire before presenting the result of their Agenese collaboration.
The Commandos Percus are not unknown in Agenaise land. Their fans and the others have not forgotten their visit to the prefecture city on the occasion of the Agen festivities. A show that looks like percussion and pyrotechnics.
Upstream of these two evenings on the boards of the Florida, the artists will open up to a time of meetings and exchanges with the Lot-et-Garonnais.
One of the musicians of Montparnasse Musique, Cuban, went to meet the students of three classes of the Édouard-Herriot school in Agen, yesterday. It will continue today Tuesday, November 15. After a first time of meeting, he animates a workshop of manufacture of musical instrument starting from objects of recovery.
The two other members of Montparnasse Musique, Nadjib and Manyelo, will be at the De Baudre high school today for a time of exchange, in English, with the students of a Europe class. “This partnership around foreign languages between the school and Florida was initiated many years ago. The students are brought to meet foreign artists from Florida’s programming throughout the year”, explains the room of shows. At the same time, members of the Commandos Percus will meet detainees from the Eysses remand center and detention center at the beginning of the week.
