Echelle Humaine: the performance festival returns to Lafayette Anticipations

The Lafayette Anticipation Foundation is organizing a new edition of the Échelle Humaine performance festival from September 20 to 22, 2024. A weekend of polymorphous artistic interactions awaits you, with performances by Léa Vinette, Catol Teixeira, a non-academic lecture by Rabih Mroué, and much more. Ready to be amazed?

Lovers of artistic performance in all its forms, head to Lafayette Anticipations for the new edition of its festival, Échelle Humaine, from September 20 to 22, 2024. For this year's edition, the festival stands out for its embrace of artistic movements, led by researchers, students and the general public, which transform and reveal the place's spaces of play, porosity and mutation. Over the course of a weekend, the event becomes a crossroads for diverse and polymorphous experiences, generating new ways of living and questioning the relationships that drive us.

The program features an eclectic mix of performances, installations and lectures. Highlights include Rabih Mroué 's three "non-academic lectures", which play with perception and illusion, and Dalila Belaza's solo Figures, which invents a universal dance without origin or territory. Léa Vinette celebrates night in broad daylight with Nox, and Phia Ménard, with L'après-midi d'un foehn Version 1, creates an aerial choreography. The evenings are enlivened by Catol Teixeira's festive performance, while Marie NDiaye and other events, such as film screenings and workshops, enrich this weekend of immersive discoveries.
