Events & festivals in France in March

Rennes - Toulouse, football Ligue 1
Ligue 1 saison 2009/2010
Saturday, March 20 2010

The team with a trick up their sleeve.

Once again the Rennes team will be changing coaches… Now under the experienced gaze of Frédéric Antonetti, known to be a serious, consistent coach, the team is hoping to make it to the top this season.

The Breton team will hopefully be able to manage 3rd place in this tournament, thereby qualifying for the League of Champions. The team has been working towards this goal for years now, and they might, with a bit of luck, pull it off this time.

- Mozart, the Rock Opera - music comedy
Saturday, March 20 2010

Mozart rocks your socks off!

After Le Roi Soleil and the hugely popular Ten Commandments, producers Dove Attia and Albert Cohen decided to work with the music from one of history's greatest composers: Mozart.

Classic fans beware, this is a rock opera so expect some banging melodies and a spectacular show with period costumes!

The real originality of the show is the shameless mixing of disparate genres. Pop performers as well as traditional opera stars will be singing alongside known actors, dancers, and classical and contemporary music performers.

Antonio Placer, live concert
Les Instants du Monde 2009
Friday, March 19 2010

A musician, a baker, a philosopher.

Antonio Placer is a self-taught musician, an artist who grew up with the Spanish tradition of oral history that involves storytelling, song and music. His music today was built on these ancient traditions in which "the artist is no more than a servant dedicated the living world". Born in Galicia, Spain, he has been a resident of Grenoble for the past two decades. He delivers music that breathes life, a poetic, cross-cultural style that blends French and Spanish cultures and taste of both the Atlantic and Mediterranean waters…

Antonio Placer is more than a musician, he is a philosopher who chooses to express his views of humility and authenticity in song…

Flicks from up North…

Nordic Cinema is a broad category that includes Belgian, Finnish, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Icelandish, Norwegian and Baltic films… Though relatively obscure to the international movie-going crowd, the nordic cinema tradition is rich and particularly vibrant today.

Pierpoljak, live concert
Saturday, March 27 2010

The white rasta

Pierpoljak is the one they call "white rasta", despite not being 100% aligned with the rastafarian culture and cause.

His career, his road to stardom, has been a chaotic one indeed. Finally, Pierpoljak the 'rebel' found his own identity somewhere between France and Jamaica and succeeded in creating his own niche, one that has been greatly appreciated by his fan base.

Under the guise of prudence, rare in his chosen genre, suggested by the title "Je blesserai personne," (I won't hurt anyone), his latest album is an extension of his continued musical research and innovation.

Le Havre - SC Bastia, football Ligue 2
Ligue 2 saison 2009/2010
Friday, March 19 2010

Normans with an agenda…

Le Havre was unfortunate enough to be relegated to Ligue 2 in the previous season. The wound is still fresh and this just might give the necessary motivation, the rage, to claw their way back into Ligue 1.

Nevertheless, Rage won't be enough if there isn't the skill and technique to back it up. This granddaddy of French clubs is one of the more stable elements of the season; they rarely disappoint and there is no reason they should start now.

Arthur H, live concert
Wednesday, March 17 2010

Hauntingly beautiful melodies.

Working alongside Nicolas Repac et Jean Massicote, the "man with his head in the clouds" (namely Arthur H.) has slowly developed his style, moving towards a more groovy, funky beat, a style at once optimistic and snarky…

His lyrics, honed to perfection, seem to clash with the accompanying music in the most satisfying way. Rather than deliver yet another loaded, sombre song, he gives us l'Homme du Monde, a gracious and light album that illustrates his gift for writing melodies. It was this album in particular that helped him win the Victoire de la Musique in 2009 for Pop-Rock Album of the Year.

Water Night, Grand-Quevilly
La Nuit de l'eau 2010
Saturday, March 20 2010

Get ready to dive!

Organised as part of World Water Day, a UNESCO event, the French Swimming Federation will be organising La Nuit de l'Eau or "Water Night" on March 20th, 2010.

This is a charity-oriented operation dedicated to raising awareness: teaching future generations to respect water as a finite resource. This is achieved through a programme of activities and events, educational workshops, awareness workshops and more…

Profits are to be donated to children of the third world with regards to their access to clean, running water. Last year's event provided the funds to built and maintain 9 Togolese schools with access to running water (thanks to a drinkable water source and a rain-catching cistern) and helped promote awareness programmes in these schools (hygiene, health, water purification, etc.). The sponsor for this major event, Alain Bernard, is a professional swimmer with more than a few prizes under his belt…

Saint-Patrick's Day, Rouen
Saint-Patrick 2010
Saturday, March 20 2010

Get dressed up in green and party!

Saint Patrick's day is celebrated on the 17th March in Ireland and throughout the world in Irish communities. Saint Patrick is, as you can imagine, the patron saint of Ireland and on his day everyone wears green, the colour of the shamrock and symbol of Spring season.

Many pubs and nightclubs organise particularly lively parties for the occasion: concerts, Celtic events, shows, all-night happy-hour, etc. Everything is done to pay homage to the missionary who converted Ireland to Christianity, always in the most fun and festive manner possible.
There are also parades organised in the larger towns, a festive procession of leprechauns but also green-clad, bagpipe-tooting humans...

100 Gypsy Violins, coming from Budapest, live concert
Thursday, March 25 2010

Majestic "Tzigane" performance…

They are a hundred-strong. They are a wave of violins, a veritable army of strings: violins but also double basses, cellos, clarinets… They are here to conquer and yet they come in peace, offering a moment of pure pleasure.

This show will be a unique musical experience, ranging from the elegance of Brahms' Hungarian Waltzes to the ardour, the sheer power of Khatchaturian's Sword Dance

You will discover an orchestra unlike any other, an instrumental mastery born of generations of experience. It will be a classical performance, yet these musicians are far from the stone-faced stereotype, almost dancing with their instruments as they are carried away by the music.

Manu Katché, live concert
Thursday, March 25 2010

Feline and Groovy

Born in 1958, in Saint-Maur-des-Fosses (Paris), Manu Katché began classical dance training at the age of five, on his mother's recommendation. Soon after, however, he opted for the piano and entered the CNSM in Paris where he took lessons in classical percussion. A talented musician, Katché won a First Prize at the Conservatory.

Though he recorded a first album as composer, vocalist and drummer, and despite writing for several Original Soundtracks, Katché is best known as a drummer. Feline, groovy and gifted with a melodic sense of percussion, inherited from his training in classical music, his unique style is easily identifiable. For three decades now, this "studio musician" has been in high demand, in particular by Peter Gabriel, who hired him for stage performances in the 1980s. He has also accompanied Sting, Dire Straits and Youssou N’Dour, as well as Jan Garbarek and Michel Petrucciani.
In 2004, he founded his own group, Tendances, a quintet open to all styles of music though with special predilection for electric jazz or pieces from the Davis era.

100 Gypsy Violins from Budapest, live concert
Sunday, March 28 2010

Majestic "Tzigane" performance…

They are a hundred-strong. They are a wave of violins, a veritable army of strings: violins but also double basses, cellos, clarinets… They are here to conquer and yet they come in peace, offering a moment of pure pleasure.

This show will be a unique musical experience, ranging from the elegance of Brahms' Hungarian Waltzes to the ardour, the sheer power of Khatchaturian's Sword Dance

You will discover an orchestra unlike any other, an instrumental mastery born of generations of experience. It will be a classical performance, yet these musicians are far from the stone-faced stereotype, almost dancing with their instruments as they are carried away by the music.

Eric Bibb Quartet, live concert
Tuesday, March 23 2010

Skill that deserves to be noticed.

This NY-born musician was indeed born into the business; his father brought him into the world of Jazz early on, where he met great performers such as Bob Dylan and Gary Davis.

This virtuoso guitarist and composer is representative of a new generation of acoustic blues players. He displays a dexterous, harmonious and simply brilliant cocktail of folk, gospel and world music, mixing ragtime with contemporary works… Eric Bibb will blow you away.

Robinson, live concert
Saturday, March 20 2010

The keys to maturity.

Robinson delivers a cultural cocktail of music, simple and evocative compositions and dreamy, sensitive themes. Far from looking down on his fellow man, he admires even the most humble of people. His songs deal with everyday life, quotidian issues of modest, quiet people, miners for example or simply marginalized people.

He speaks of men who work alongside donkeys, who encounter foxes, wolves and lemurs in their everyday activities… These themes are strange in the way that they relocate man in the grand scheme of things.

Profits are to be donated to children of the third world with regards to their access to clean, running water. Last year's event provided the funds to built and maintain 9 Togolese schools with access to running water (thanks to a drinkable water source and a rain-catching cistern) and helped promote awareness programmes in these schools (hygiene, health, water purification, etc.). The sponsor for this major event, Alain Bernard, is a professional swimmer with more than a few prizes under his belt…

- The interpretation of dreams within self-knowledge - conference
Monday, March 15 2010

The mysterious language of dreams

Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung (1875 - 1961) was one of the founding fathers of psychoanalysis. While he began his research alongside Sigmund Freud, he soon broke away from Freud's methodology and his theory that the libido was the key to the interpretation of dreams. He nevertheless remained convinced of the importance of dreams in understanding the subconscious.
Jungian psychoanalyst Genevieve Chincholle Querat will enlighten you about "the little hidden door in the deepest sanctuary of the soul" and the role it plays in self-knowledge.

A showcase for talent in Asian cinema.

In Deauville, Spring comes with the blossoming of the Lotus flower, at least metaphorically speaking, as the month of March brings the annual Asian film festival.

The festival has become a kind of Oscars on the local film scene, making the city popular throughout Asia, and this eighth edition is looking more exciting than ever before. Not only is there the annual film competition, but also film screenings and retrospectives of some of the greatest stars in Asian cinema. The festival provides Asian and European film cultures with a networking hub, a major competition, and a festive event in the prestigious beach-town of Deauville.

- Le Havre. Commissioned images - exhibition
From Saturday, March 6 2010 to Monday, May 24 2010

A city reconstructed.

Le Havre's classification in 2005 as a World Heritage site triggered, after decades of misunderstanding and rejection, a new phase in the city's development: one of curiosity and openness in the story of the relationship between the city and the people (both residents and visitors passing through). People's perception of the city has clearly changed.

Over the course of three years, six artists, including photographers and video artists came to Le Havre after a public order was passed by the Commune of Normandy and the Ministry of Culture, to work in this seaside city which was rebuilt by Auguste Perret. Other artists spontaneously followed them. This exhibition presents their latest work.

Turkey through the camera lens.


Only a few photographs suffice to capture the essence of Istanbul and Pontivy! Admire the work of Timurtas Onan and a selection of art students from Brittany and Turkey, and lose yourself in a labyrinth of photo-art. Some might say that photography is not art, but replicated reality; yet it is the eye and mind behind that transforms a banal piece of paper into artwork.

More than 300 documents will be on display and set up so that the visitor may admire them chronologically. From the first prints to our current image-saturated culture, learn the truth behind the expression "seeing is believing"…

Le Peuple de l'herbe, live concert
Tuesday, March 16 2010

The people have spoken…

Le Peuple de l'Herbe was founded in 1997, and their first "real" album (Triple Zero +) came out three years later. It was also in 2000 that the band worked on the soundtrack of the French film Baise-Moi, further establishing them as a choice act. In 2002 the "People of the Grass" were even awarded a Victoire de la Musique in the Découverte Scène category.

Their music is a cocktail of styles, from funk to hip-hop, ragga and drum'n'bass, and their 2005 album Cube, recorded at the Supadope factory, only adds more to their reputation as innovative, truly inspiring musicians. Their latest album, Tilt, came out in 2009…

Misia, concert - Lisboarium -
Saturday, March 20 2010

The new voice of Fado.

After the release of her album Garras Dos Sentidos in 1998, Misia was hailed the new voice of Fado.

Named after Misia Sert, she is a multi-faceted musician with more than one trick up her sleeve; she plays piano and even the accordion. The sum of these parts is a collection of nostalgic, poignant songs that breathe new life into Fado while remaining faithful to its essence. Her latest album Canto is inspired by the music of Carlos Paredes, Portugal's leading guitar composer.
Resolutely original and authentic, Canto includes contributions by poets Vasco Graça Mouras, Sergio Godinho and Pedro Tamen; their words are perfectly suited to Misia's hauntingly beautiful voice.

Philippe Durand is essentially a photographer though he is unafraid to explore other ventures such as sculpture or video. His works seem in tune with the cities and territories that he explores, a travel journal of artwork. One can catch small traces of these places (images, words) in every one of his pieces…
