The autumn of 2023 promises to be a busy one in Paris and the Île-de-France region, with a host of not-to-be-missed events such as the Journées du Patrimoine, the Techno Parade and the Fête de l'Huma, not to mention a number of new exhibitions. But the capital is also gearing up for more unusual events, such as " La chambre des mémoires à-venir ". This unique experience invites us to descend, for just 30 minutes, into the forbidden basements of Paris La Défense to enjoy a timeless moment that's sure to surprise you. With " La chambre des mémoires à-venir ", get ready to discover an experience that can be lived, played, felt, constructed and deconstructed.
Set to premiere in Paris from September 16 to October 1, 2023, " La chambre des mémoires à-venir " was conceived by architect François Roche and his New-Territories, which brings together a multidisciplinary, international team including French philosopher Emanuele Coccia, Japanese artist Mika Tamori, French artist-director Chris Delaporte, French artist-researcher Damien Sorrentino and Franco-British actress Laura Benson.
Together, they have created an experience described as " visual and architectural ", as well as " immersive and performative ", blending technology, science, cinema and theater.
But then, will you dare to penetrate the depths of Paris La Défense and dive into the forbidden basements of this mythical Paris business district that holds so many secrets? Are you ready to discover holo-cosmosgraphic avatars or invisible live scribbles? If the experience appeals to you, only 2000 people will be able to discover " La chambre des mémoires à-venir ". If you'd like to be one of them, don't delay: book your 30-minute slot on the dedicated website (€10 per half-hour). Note that the descent beneath the slab of the Paris La Défense Arena takes place in groups of 12 people at a time, and that the experience - reserved for those over 16 - is accompanied by a dedicated guide.
