Initiated by Tuula Yrjö-Koskinen, the current director of the cultural venue located in the 5th arrondissement, the"Ensemble!" program is on view until September 14. " Ensemble means transcending borders, cooperating and learning from each other. Like sport, art has the power to bring us together," explains the Finnish Institute in a press release. Among the highlights not to be missed this spring? A"Block Party" scheduled for Thursday, May 30, 2024 in the Rue du Sommerard, just outside Café Maa.
Heralded as a " real moment of sharing and self-expression ", this"Block Party" is an opportunity to discover street dance and, in particular, breaking, a discipline in which the Finns excel.
