The2024 edition of Nuit Blanche, an artistic and cultural event that aims to make art accessible to all, awaits you this June 1. In the 20th arrondissement, there's no shortage of events and exhibitions , including a poetic performance in the very heart of Parc de Belleville.
Parc de Belleville, located in the 20th arrondissement of Paris, is one of those magical places where art and nature meet in harmony. Renowned for its breathtaking panoramic views over the capital, this park will be the setting for a particularly eagerly-awaited performance this year. It was once home to the Belleville windmills, which have since disappeared from the Paris landscape and become the Maison de l'Air.
Trinidadian artist Marlon Griffith will present"We Will Not Bow", a poetic and engaging work that highlights the crucial issues surrounding access to water. Through the myth of the kappa, the Japanese water genie, this performance connects global environmental challenges with the local realities of populations like those of Mayotte. The performers, strolling around the park's water points, will offer an immersive experience where art meets activism.
Laura Henno's film, Koropa, will also be shown, with the aim of raising awareness of"the interrelation of migratory issues, from the here where we are to the there where we are projected and where we project ourselves". A film that navigates"the border between fiction and documentary".
Visiting the Parc de Belleville during the Nuit Blanche is a unique opportunity to discover an enchanting green space from a different angle. So don't miss the 6 p.m. kick-off for a total immersion in a world where artistic beauty and powerful messages intertwine for an unforgettable evening. Ready for a night of culture, folks?
