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.

Zambulla A invites us to reflect on the tension between the desire for freedom and emotional rootedness, suggesting that our deepest bonds often define the most important decisions in our lives.

Screening and musical performance with orchestra. For decades, doctors have advised against swimming in the Mar Menor under certain conditions. Over the years, a layer of black stone has spread across the bay of Portmán (Murcia) which, in a kind of dictatorship of consensus, we have decided to call "volcanic black stone", in an attempt to bury the memory of mining under a semblance of transitory environmental alignment.
