Le Havre

Plastic Affair emerged from my experience as a diver in the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, where I have witnessed the growing presence of plastic pollution, even in protected waters. Triggered by images of marine life entangled in plastic waste, the performance examines the complex relationship between human activity and the natural world. Through movement, it invites audiences to consider how everyday actions shape the environments we inhabit. It is a solo performance in dialogue with a light plastic tarpaulin, a material that is as hypnotic as it is dangerous. Dance workshops will be offered in connection with the performance.

Originally created at the Bourse de Commerce in Paris, Dancehall Weather brings together Argentine choreographer Cecilia Bengolea and her collaborators Craig Black Eagle (Jamaica) and Nika Mad Spirit (Ukraine) in a performance where dance and video archives intertwine. Drawing from Jamaican dancehall — which Cecilia Bengolea sees as a powerful medium for healing — the performance opens with an Early Settings session, a musical moment of reflection and collective energy, before giving way to a liberating shared dance.

Invited by the Art Explora foundation, Collectif Magma unveils magmaXplora an immersive performance weaving together DJ set and VJing into a voyage through marine imaginaries. As sound and shifting visuals intertwine, the viewer drifts into the ocean's depths, among abysses and bioluminescence, submarine eruptions and pillow lavas, until the borders between the living, the mineral and the imagined quietly dissolve.

A dance workshop exploring plastic and its impact on living beings, for all publics Inspired by images of marine animals trapped in plastic waste, this workshop was born from underwater observations in the Mediterranean and Red Sea, where plastic proliferates even in protected areas. In duet with a light plastic sheet, participants are invited to reflect on our habits and the way we inhabit our environment.
