    Documentary by Thierry Guedj (2026)
    A year before Al Jarreau's death on February 12, 2017, this documentary retraced his exceptional career in African-American music. The artist was used to juggling genres, and his discography swung between jazz, pop and R&B. First appearing on the scene in the 1970s, this son of a pastor and a pianist from the Seventh Day Adventist Church didn't take long to be considered one of the most original vocalists of his time. 
    Panel discussion with Yasmina Jaafar, Audrey Celestine, Margot Sergent & Jean Beaman.
    In English. Free.
    Event organized with French in Motion.

DANCE

  • bang bang! bang bang!
    Thursday, Feb. 26 | 7pm 
    By Manuel Roque, feat. Manuel Roque & Nils Levazeux
    bang bang is an ordeal. Involving a repetition of jumps and athletic patterns counted in 11, it demands exceptional concentration and physical commitment from the performers.
    The intensity of the work gradually reveals the combativeness, stamina, but also the flaws of the human performer. The rigor of the performance is accompanied by the perspiration. Keep jumping becomes at once absurd, poetic and political.
