Le bar du Crépuscule - Belsunce Projects (guests Martha Kirszenbaum)

CREEPUSCULE, a symbol closely linked to the idea of the West, the direction in which the sun declines, fades and dies. It expresses the end of a cycle and, consequently, the preparation of a new beginning. The great mythological feats that prelude a cosmic, social or moral revolution are accomplished during a journey to the West: Perseus trying to kill the Gorgon, Heracles overcoming the monster in the Garden of the Hesperides, Apollo taking flight among the Hyperboreans, etc. Twilight is a spatio-temporal image: a suspended moment. Space and time capsize in both the other world and the other night. But the death of one heralds the other: a new space and a new time will succeed the old. The march to the West is the march to the future, but through dark transformations. Beyond the night, we hope for new dawns. Twilight also symbolizes the nostalgic beauty of decline and the past. It is the image and the hour of melancholy and nostalgia. The twilight bar: a project, an atmosphere, a rendezvous, a project based on exchange, friendship and welcome.

Hugo Mir-Valette

Marseille shadow works

Marseille Shadow works is a collection of texts written and performed by Hugo Mir, composer and designer. They invite us to share intimate, cinematic moments in situationship with Marseille. Hugo Mir writes in the moment, to depict landscapes that navigate between introspection and locality, blending his music with his deep love of street culture.

Hugo Mir-Valette's musical and artistic practice is based on social interaction and knowledge of open data. After starting out as a designer, in his twenties he was struck by a degenerative disease combined with sleep disorders. In the absence of medical care, he discovered that music and natural vibrations could channel and critically improve his health. He now uses his skills and knowledge to sing alongside the voices of the South and other Mediterranean cultures, as a reflective conductor, developing media to create unique vernacular representations of Mediterranean ecosystems. His work with Josèfa Ntjam and the Aquatic Invasion team explores the futuribilities of music, as constantly evolving waves of sound without genre, without name, liquid data of the post-Internet, decolonial culture beyond assignment.
