Long Ma arrives at the Halle de La Machine.
Nestled inside the Halle, this imposing machine will wake up every day, lulled by the mechanical sounds of the stable of machines.
The True Machinists will invite the public to discover the history of this monumental machine, to be surprised by the sensitivity and precision of its movements. On certain days, Long Ma will be able to venture outside, on the Track, to greet Asterion the Minotaur and the inhabitants of the Montaudran district.

Lilly Wood and The Prick in Bikini
After platinum and gold albums, and the planetary success of the remix of Prayer in C, Lilly Wood and the Prick returns with their pop and oxygenating album carried by the soulful and scratchy voice of Nili which sweeps away the gloom of recent years. And he waited a bit since the concert was originally scheduled for December 10. But we are reassured to find the group on February 25!

LITTLE GIRLS MUSIC at BIJOU
Actresses who crack and who dream. Confessions behind the scenes. Friendships that fail. And rock’n’roll. Oscillating between stand-up, burlesque ballet, intimate confession and grating comedy, Petite Musique de Filles is a cut up of autofictional scenes and solos performed by three young actresses. The autofictional story therefore (in other words everything is false because it is true) allows these three young women to write themselves, to make their little music heard.
> See you from February 24 to 25 at Le Bijou
The Orchester National du Capitole: Direction Andalusia on February 26 at the Halle aux Grains
The hot winds of Spain are blowing on this concert! From Granada, a mythical city, to the visionary poetry of Lorca, Iberian culture fascinated the whole of Europe at the start of the 20th century. Manuel de Falla’s native land was also an imaginary territory for Claude Debussy.
Accompanied by Bertrand Chamayou, Thomas Gugge takes us through the maze of Granada to the swaying rhythm of a habanera.
The secrets of the blob at the Quai des Savoirs
Neither plant, nor animal, nor fungus… But what is the blob? Take advantage of the holidays to discover this unclassifiable creature! As part of a scientific and participatory experiment led by the CNRS, the Quai des Savoirs is devoting exhibitions, videos and discussions with scientists to it.
