This one-hour concert celebrates the rhythms, songs and dances of Guadeloupe and Haiti. The first part is devoted to Guadeloupe and the Gwo-ka tradition, featuring rhythms such as the Léwoz, Toumblak, Mendé, Graj and Mass à Saint-Jean. On stage: René Burin on the boula drum, Roger Raspail on the makè drum, Annette Nicolas on vocals and chacha, and singer Gildas Lutin, with her powerful yet gentle voice. The audience is invited to parade and dance. The second part is dedicated to Haiti, with the Yanvalou, Rabordaille, Rara and Petro. Master drummer Kébyésou performs the great classics of Haitian Vodou, while dancer Nerlande Bazelais draws the audience into her spellbinding dances, so everyone can share in the energy of this tradition.

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.

This conversation between art curator Bernardo de Souza and scientist Juan Pascual Anaya explores the links between art and science, with hagfish genome research at its core. The conversation focuses on how the two fields, despite having different perspectives, share an impulse to imagine, study and speculate on the mysteries of life and nature.

For years, artist Juan del Junco has been working with the world of ornithology as a frame of reference. He has described, classified and used images of birds to create metaphors. The film essay El mensaje is, in the artist's words, "the beautiful, sonorous song of a bird, but it is a sad song, a rebuke, a desperate song of one who inhabited this world thousands of years before us".
