The Offbeats

Paris is celebrating May 1968, the series of popular events that shook the French capital 50 years ago!
While the Palais de Tokyo has left the walls of its facade into the hands of artists Escif and Paul Loubet, the Centre Pompidou is taken over by artists, children, students and academics for a three-week long staged occupation. During this period, graphic designer Philippe Lakits will create a 60-metre long fresco in the museum’s Forum, whilst general assemblies and performances will be held around Cavea, the nomadic structure developed by French designer Olivier Vadrot.

Foroba Yelen by Matteo Ferroni - light as common good Thanks to his multi-faceted collaborations in the fields of theatre and music, during his career, Ferroni has developed a careful and sensible approach to light - an element that he considers “highly theatrical and culturally meaningful”.
