Between House, Trance and techno, the Helios collective blends styles to match the energy of the moment.

From the icy, crystal-clear waters of Antarctica to the murky seas of the Philippines, and down into the depths off Cap Corse, where light dwindles and human presence is scarce, nature endures, endlessly shaping itself into extraordinary forms.

A self-taught artist and winner of a Victoire de la Musique, Hervé has carved out a distinctive place within the French music scene in the space of just three albums, with pop-rock compositions fuelled by electronic pulses. Alongside his own tour and thanks to Chaillot, Hervé met the MazelFreten, an exceptionally dynamic choreographic collective moving between hip-hop and electro, and revealed to the world during the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. This collaboration has proved entirely relevant – even self-evident. For him, as for them, music is a primary mode of expression, a driver of movement, a matter of rhythm. Freeing the mind and stirring the body.

On the occasion of Art Explora, the 329 collective takes over the stage this Friday, October 2, with its resident DJs, ORL and Mazout, for a DJ set navigating between Dub Techno, Mental Techno, and a more Detroit-inspired strain of Techno rooted in the Underground Resistance movement. The set creates a bridge between Le Havre and Detroit, two industrial cities shaped by the contrast between humans and machines.

In Athena’s Antennas, Chrysanthi Koumianaki, in collaboration with two performers, proposes a series of ephemeral public sculptures. Turning her gaze to the rooftops of Athens’ apartment buildings as the city’s edges, she imagines the buildings as bodies and their rooftops and balconies as limbs. The industrial equipment found there transforms into an evolving form of public sculpture, like a peculiar parasitic forest or an open-air sculpture gallery. Satellite dishes are translated into wicker hats and become props within an evolving stage setting.
