Discover the programme of activities on the quayside and in the towns: performances, concerts, conferences, screenings, workshops, meetings and other events.

Act.1_Brisk
As part of the Art Explora festival and in partnership with the Shems'y national circus school in Salé, the three artists Klara Fontibus, Nassim Azarzar and Aliocha Tazi invite students to take part in the creative process of Act.1_Brise. Students from all disciplines will be able to appropriate the various elements that make up flying (or non-flying) structures, in order to create a choreographic and narrative game. The research carried out during this workshop will be the subject of two open-air public performances.
