Objective: find a rare book on graphic design to surprise her new bibliophile boyfriend. Risk: flipping through Selle de Ch'val (review of social criticism & literary experiences), immersing yourself in Le Matricule des Anges (review of contemporary literature), remain dumbfounded by the immense collection of literature and human sciences , discovering a passion for Shestov, getting lost in Juan José Saer's Ancestor, leaving with all of Orwell (the four volumes of correspondence and his two bios, and not just his famous Animal Farm and his novel of anticipation 1984), lock himself up at home, read, escape, forget the birthday of his new bibliophile boyfriend. In short, you will have understood it, the Bal des Ardents makes you lose your head.

Bad Faith, on the hunt for wild beasts

Until 2003, 17 rue Neuve was home to La Musardine, an erotic bookshop. A local employee, Francis Chaput-Dezerville bought it to turn it into a generalist bookstore, “like yesteryear”, namely a stock bookstore. Le Bal des Ardents, a nod to the text of Pierre Bettencourt (poet and visual artist), was born with a collection of 3,000 works. Thirteen years later, the address is stuffed from floor to ceiling with more than 25,000 writings of all kinds. Francophone literature, poetry, photography, comics, theater notebooks, political science books, improbable essays, thrillers, encyclopedias, erotic works

For many, this bookstore is still exclusively a licentious address. However, the Curiosa collection only represents 3% of all the works presented. Literature and the humanities are the most represented. “We carry out real in-depth work, we keep important books, regardless of their date of writing and their rotation. Don't expect to find the latest Beigbeder or Levy. The house carefully chooses each of its titles. We unearth works by little-known authors Emmanuel Bove, Jacques Abeille , forgotten publications by renowned writers The Idiot of the Family by Jean-Paul Sartre for example , small publishers La Fabrique, Arbitraire, The Tripode but also essential authors: Beckett, Dostoyevsky, Clausewitz.

Oriane Lassus: mother's sickness

The credo of this bookstore? “Breaking the lines, fighting against all kinds of stampings that confine and censor. A Belarusian fanzine is considered here with the same regard as the novelty from Gallimard” affirms this lover of words. An essential place for its sharp selection, but also its decoration the books are placed on old hairdresser's chairs and shelves entirely created by the master of the place and its background music, which oscillates between Bashung, Bob Dylan and from Nick Cave. We dare you to enter this unique bookshop and come out empty-handed.

Jean-Emmanuel Denave | Tuesday, January 18, 2022

The Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève presents its Minimal Maximal program in Lyon, bringing together two pieces with a generous number of dancers (twenty-two for each work), and created from contemporary minimalist music. The first, Fall, is signed by the great Belgian choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, known for the fluid and delicate beauty of his writing. In a decor of pale silks with changing colors and a dreamlike atmosphere bathed in the music of Arvo Pärt, the dancers are like so many autumn leaves, falling or rising according to the musical breath. This piece invites us to daydream made of perpetual movements, poetry of shapes and gestures, detached from any narrative. Just as fluid, but marked by a faster execution of gestures, the writing of Greek

Hip-Hop | Multiverse is performing this Friday, December 17 as part of the Comètes de Spetival festival. A trio of MC's, based in Lyon but originally from Spain, Colombia and England: promising.

Alpha Saliou Diallo | Tuesday 14th December 2021

Jon-Jon, Robinson (from Fahron, where he collaborates with Celsius) and AcheKM cut their teeth in the local open stage circuit. These are three rappers already known individually, crossed in workshops, jams, open mic' or via other related projects. A trio which, after a first year of existence on social networks, materializes the meeting of these singular paths in the form of a collective project called Multiverse, an offshoot of the Amalaïta Connexion collective: the three MCs, from Spain, Colombia and from England, but based in Lyon, are performing this week on stage in the 7th arrondissement, at the Balto Disco Club. trap and boom bap registers overlap, the group, aptly named, combines cosmogonies and temporalities with this project with identities as multiple as they are coherent, outside the narrow old labels

The Reported Piece | A teller marries a son of a family and experiences the continued hostility of the surly Queen Mother disappointed by this misalliance. This is the starting point of the new burlesque comedy by Grenoble's Antonin Peretjatko, partly shot in Lyon with Josiane Balasko. Encounter

Vincent Raymond | Wednesday, November 24, 2021

Was it easy for you to compose a character as detestable as that of this “Queen Mother”?Josiane Balasko: Oh, it’s fun! It's not for real to "pretend", like the children who play the policeman, or in the theater where you yell on stage... Entering into a character that is not mine and playing what he there is to play, that's what I like. But it has to feel like it's for real! The funny thing in addition here is that she is a bourgeois character, very rich, with jewels, that she lives in an incredible house. Precisely, this house, more than a decoration, is a central element of the film… Antonin Peretjatko: We found it near Lyon, after a search based around the time. And it was not at all what I imagined at first — &agrave

Jean-Emmanuel Denave | Thursday 2nd December 2021

Since 2003, Le Bal des Ardents bookstore and its stock of some 25,000 books has become a real sanctuary for lovers of good literature, alternative magazines, books on art and the human sciences Le Bal offers also second-hand books but, over time, space ran out. Francis Chaput-Dezerville (who runs the Bal) has therefore just opened, since the end of November, a new space located in the same street, a few meters from the parent company. Les Fleurs du Bal (is there a reference to a collection of poems by Charles Baudelaire in the name of the place?) are devoted to second-hand books and also to exhibitions of artists linked to the tastes of the bookseller (artists participating by example at the Cahiers Dessinés, or even at art brut or alternative art magazines). Currently, it is Nylso who presents singular and quite hypnotic landscapes in black and white. L-side

Here are some ideas for enjoying the beautiful colors of nature, without forgetting to taste the local specialties in the prettiest corners of Isère: adventure and comfort just a few kilometers from Lyon! Autumn has arrived, the leaves are turning red and the air is getting cooler but that's no reason to stay locked up!

At that time, the panoramas are worth the detour thanks to the golden coat that the vegetation takes on. Above Lake Paladru (1 hour from Lyon) the Pierre de Libre Soleil route is a paradise for trail runners but is also very suitable for family outings.

Johanna Perret and Dorian FeraudThe painter Johanna Perret and the photographer Dorian Feraud exhibit their works at the Regard Sud gallery, in a thematic and formal dialogue. These two artists explore the impalpable of atmospheric atmospheres, the dissolution of figures among the mists, indistinct and evanescent spaces.

Contemporary Art | The Museum of Contemporary Art is presenting five new exhibitions, including the particularly successful one by photographer and videographer Delphine Balley. A universe with a haunted and rich imagination, which plays with rites, ghosts and the past.

Jean-Emmanuel Denave | Tuesday, September 21, 2021

In her photographic series, since 2002, Delphine Balley dreams and fantasizes of scenes of family life, miscellaneous facts from old newspapers, stories of witchcraft gleaned from villages, an English aristocratic line Each of her images is meticulously constructed like a painting, with particular care given to lights, sets, costumes, objects. We have spoken about him as surrealism or the baroque spirit. This is not false but, with hindsight, it seems to us above all that the artist projects himself into a non-time and a non-space: those specific to the imaginary or to the space of the dream which blurs and intertwines temporalities and spatialities. For her exhibition at the MAC, Figures de Cire, Delphine Balley proposes a journey where the windows of the museum have been obstructed, punctuated by large black curtains between the rooms and where there is basically no question that of light and dark, of real and double It is a ch

Jean-Emmanuel Denave | Thursday September 9, 2021

Next week, the Musée dArt Contemporain is opening three monographic exhibitions dedicated to three artists still unknown to the general public. Although, with regard to Delphine Balley (born in 1974 in Roman-sur-Isère), the people of Lyon have already been able to taste her baroque and surreal photographic universe, by discovering her in particular a few years ago at the Galerie Le Réverbère. Since then, his work has continued in the same vein, drawing inspiration from miscellaneous facts, local legends, rites and various beliefs, to then draw from them "picture-pictures" that are always surprising, even extravagant! Her taste for directing has also led her to produce films more recently. Sharing this taste for directing, we will be curious to discover the universe of the artist of Slovenian origin Jasmina Cibic (born in 1979) which tackles the staging of power, notably through a video projected as a triptych: The Gift.

Several years after their previous adventures, Tim and Ted Templeton have grown up and become estranged from each other. Ted is very rich, Tim has started a family and takes care of his two daughters. What he does not know is that his youngest is a new Baby Boss and that she is going to turn Tim and Ted back into children for 48 hours in order to infiltrate the school of the mysterious Dr. Armstrong... Faced with this Family Affair... we There's no denying the obvious relationship between the baby secret agents invading the mad professor Armstrong's school and the gang of ramshackle penguins from Madagascar: they come from the same whimsical and absurd mind, that of Tom McGrath.

Kids | Our selection of films to watch with the family for the return of kids to dark rooms.

Vincent Raymond | Tuesday, May 25, 2021

Do the math: six months without cinema for a 7-year-old child is equivalent for a 35-year-old adult to 2.5 years of deprivation of dark rooms! Suffice to say that there are legitimate reasons to take your cherubim there first thing in the morning. Some films taking advantage of the opportunity to continue their shortened existence, it is not forbidden to pay homage to them (Calamity, a childhood by Martha Jane Cannary by the always impressive Rémi Chayé for ages 8 and over, the programs Les Mal- beloved by Hélène Ducrocq and The Whale and the Snail by Max Lang & Daniel Snaddon for 3-6 year olds). However, some alternative novelties that is to say outside the thundering perimeter of the blockbusters deserve to be mentioned. Starting with the improbable (on paper) StarDog and TurboCat by Ben Smith, in which Buddy, a dog sent into space in 1969, today lands in a city where pets are hunted. But with the help of Felix, a talkative cat outfitted like Batman, he will restore the ha

“The Eldest, the Youngest and the Benjamin” is not the title of an exegesis of the Three Sisters, nor a version of The Four Daughters of Doctor March amputated from one of theirs. But the new name of the three addresses where the Vivement Dimanche bookstore is based, following a reorganization of its spaces. L'Aînée is the historic bookstore, the flagship of the rue du Chariot d'Or where you browse literature, human sciences and comics, La Cadette is held on Grande rue de la Croix-Rousse on the site of the former youth space and hosts the Fine Arts and Practical Life departments (are you still following?). As for the Benjamine, it is logically reserved for young people and is spread over three floors. A facelift that will be accompanied by new signage and harmonized signs. You will no longer come to her by chance.

Their improbable friendship will illustrate a well-known moral: one always needs something smaller than oneself A symphony of blues and watery textures, this very delicate animated film with its sumptuous production recalls, less sadly, LOiseau and the Whale seen as a complement to the program of LOdyssée de Choum.

Bookstore | Michel Descours lets go of his gallery and refocuses his activity as an art dealer in Paris, but the affiliated bookstore will continue to organize exhibitions. Explanations.

Stephane Duchene | Friday, September 11, 2020

Last June, the Librairie Michel Descours, specializing in the arts, put an end to its activity as a gallery meaning by that art sales. Michel Descours having opened a gallery in Paris on which he intends to refocus this activity. It is therefore the bookstore, hitherto secondary, which will constitute the bulk of Lyon's activity, under the impetus of Gwilherm Perthuis, who went from the gallery to the bookstore a year ago by... crossing the street (like what...). But that does not mean that the exhibitions will therefore desert the place. As Gwilherm Perthuis explains to us, “for at least a year, the time to experiment with various projects, the bookshop will stimulate exhibition projects”. A way to extend the bookstore activity around the “links between image and literature”. Each month, Descours will propose a meeting at the gallery which will present plastic forms, archives, documents, prints...

The way to the heart is through the stomach, says popular wisdom, which has certainly never had to open an anatomy textbook. Just as absurd seems the assertion that gluttony can be transmitted through the eyes And yet! How numerous are the films which, exalting the pleasures of the palate, arouse irrepressible reflexes of Pavlovian salivation in their spectators! Adam belongs to this succulent category of works where culinary art serves as a meta-language between individuals, as a social and sentimental intermediary as well as a nostalgic vector. As in Le Festin de Babette, La Saveur des ramen or Les Délices de Tokyo, the miracle that occurs in the mouth brings dry hearts back to life; the sensuality of the tasting and the complicity of the preparation of the dishes (here, rz

Intriguing and promising, the opening sequence showing the Balibar/Bedia couple arguing in Arabic in front of a stunned divorce judge could have should? constitute the alpha and the omega of this pseudo political comedy, but authentic artisanal disaster. thing is wrong all along the line. The form, first of all: written and performed in spite of common sense, it offers a troupe of above-ground sores dressed in arty sexy the opportunity to yelp with a primal cry in a pathetic simulacrum of Rendez-vous in an unknown land.

Sometimes it takes years to get to that moment that changes everything. That of the obvious. The one that makes you realize how cramped we were in the hut where we had settled for so many years. That of Gaël Guilland and Ingrid Salle, then respectively chartered accountant and marketing manager in the humanitarian sector, took place over a simple coffee during one of their daily discussions. An SMS received, a bookstore on sale, a discussion, and here is the seed planted. "It was a trigger, we had buried this idea of ​​being a bookseller, everything resurfaced" explain the two friends. They let the idea mature, time pass. “We gave ourselves a year to build the project, find premises. » A year during which one and/or the other go to bookstores, meet lots of booksellers, become volunteers in festivals (including Quais du Départ and Lyon BD Festival), work as a temporary worker at Hachette to better understand the chain du livre A year later, the Librairie de la Place opened in Monplaisir. “We are attentive to the facts of s

Jean-Emmanuel Denave | Tuesday, December 3, 2019

Not to give in to your desire, to dig the same furrow, to be stubborn, to pursue... This is no doubt how you recognize an artist, a work. Since her first exhibitions at the Le Réverbère gallery until today, it is clear that Delphine Balley (born in 1974 in Romans, Drôme) has the creative thematic stubbornness. His starting point is however very simple, even a little puzzling: the Family Album which began in 2002 and where the artist stages his own family, questioning his family memory through very pictorial images. A memory which a priori hardly interests us, even which could crash against the wall of narcissistic navel-gazing of many French artists and writers! But Delphine Balley injects so much phantasmagoria, humor, incongruity and strangeness into her images that she twists Narcisse's neck and echoes many other dimensions... Broken family in a great burst of laugh

The news has these ironic about-turns Coming out precisely when the PSA-Fiat (Chrysler) marriage has just been made official, Le Mans 66 begins with the end of Ferraris refusal to ally with Ford , the independent Scuderia preferring to secure its back within the bosom of Fiat. A snub, a narcissistic injury that will precipitate the Detroit industrialist into a proud struggle with the Le Mans crown in sight. Is it emulation (since there is a technological challenge for the two competing companies) or the translation of a psychological complex on the part of their leaders? We will not fail to make a link with the conquest of space, contemporary with this squabble on the road! image, and relayed by actors accustomed to personal investment. Especially since he

Le Mans 66 | After his Marvel parenthesis (and the sharp Logan), James Mangold returns to a biopic and to the sixties with this evocation of a race in the most prestigious of automobile races, Le Mans. Quick interception during his visit to Paris.

Vincent Raymond | Tuesday, November 12, 2019

Ford's quest for Le Mans is very similar to NASA's quest for the Moon at the same time. Do you feel like you made a movie about astronauts on the road. What was the symbolic dimension of the Le Mans race? James Mangold: I think for Ford, winning Le Mans was like proving something to himself. The conquest of the Moon was indeed also a competition, since it was necessary to arrive first on the Moon in particular before the Russians. The film tries to show that winning a race is much more than a race car victory: it is also a victory for friendship, for the team and for a brand. What is your relationship to cars? I have a Land Rover. Cars are not the alpha and omega for me. But the 20th century was defined by the car; she changed our lives. At one time, each man or woman had his own horse, his own mount to go where he wanted. Ford arrived by making the car affordable for everyone. Then it was the reign of the highways. Even today, when you enter these metal boxes, you change: you see her

No need to beat the meat to tenderize. The proof with this first feature film on the edge of the pale series and the surreal Lynchian dream, whose extreme stylization is added to a strong subject as well as a solid interpretation. But if it is a pleasure to find Josiane Balasko deploying this dramatic register that she has already offered to Guillaume Nicloux or François Ozon, low voice and seriousness to split the stones; Bouchitey as an exhausted clown and Denis Lavant as a Mephistophelic playmaker, it is more surprising to see Gérard Darmon distributed in a non-comedy and what is more, in the leading role. What a pity that the filmmakers do not have the imagination of Franchin Don, because Darmon proves to be as brilliant as it is touching in this sacrificial job, reminiscent in many respects of Aronofskys Wrestler. The confidentiality of this production risks preventing it from running for the golden parallelepiped competing for the César is not given to everyone.Portrait of a cynical, venal society devoid of compassion (in other words

Headdresses that take your hair off Following a donation from collector Antoine de Galbert, the Musée des Confluences presents some 350 headdresses from around the world, dating mainly from the 19th and 20th centuries.

In justice, doubt must always benefit the accused. And its weight of uncertainty allows for verdicts that the cinema finds difficult to fully accept: a film being supposed to end with the full and complete resolution of all the plots, doubt then constitutes the pretext for a dramatic spring such as a last-minute revelation. Acusada stands out from the crowd of courtroom films by its lack of resolution: the murder case is not closed and, from a strictly theoretical point of view, this is a good thing since Dolores perception of the facts constitutes the heart of the story. How she experiences a feeling of guilt following the death of Camilla, the consequences for her parents (we understand that the scandal, in addition to ruining them socially and materially, has separated them physically), but also on her little brother. How she also receives media aggression, manipulating opinion with sensational interviews. Gradually disclosing the circumstances of the tragedy, playing the present card by limiting the use of fl

Two birds with one stone, two dreams with one concert, this is what the Nuits de Fourvière are achieving this year in the inauguration of these Music Fairs, which from June 23 to July 11 will offer a kind of program parallel to the festival, between the Odéon, the Salle Molière and the Opéra de Lyon. First, it was about fulfilling the desire of protean cellist Vincent Segal (revealed with Bumcello and able to accompany Enrico Macias and Susheela Raman, M and Mayra Andrade, Blackalicious and Agnès Jaoui) to offer another kind of performance than those regularly delivered by him between the steps of the two ancient theatres, around a few swinging musician friends and without amplification. In short, a music room. Then, why not take the opportunity to celebrate with great fanfare but in all modesty, the fifteen years of the No Format label, founded in 2004 by Laurent Bizot, defender of singular, immature, mixed and improvised music, which welcomed the first steps in piano Gonzalez solo,

Europavox | Contrary to the eternal cracking of political Europe, Europavox unveils each year what the Old Continent has best to offer in terms of cohesion based on musical diversity, between established list leaders and promising outsiders. At the front of the fleet this year, the strange Belgian boat named Balthazar, in the throes of a reform that would like to see it hit the dancefloors with the aristocratic detachment that we know from it.

Stephane Duchene | Tuesday, June 11, 2019

Since Balthazar has often been erected as a spiritual son of Leonard Cohen, then the musical shift made by the Belgian group with Fever could be similar at the same time to the Philspectorian lurch of the Beautiful Loser on Death of a Ladies' Man , the advances of a gentleman robber of hearts and crook of virtues of I'm You Man or the cooings on a world in ruins of The Future. Not in the sound packaging, oh no: nothing here comparable to the effect of the Wall of Sound on the music of the Canadian or to the synthetic becoming of his formerly folk laments. But much more with the intention of emancipating himself from the hazy aura of the dragging troubadour. An attempt not to go home with the flag hoisted high in the hanger, as one of the titles of Death of a Ladies' Man advises, precisely (Don't go home with your hard-on, not to name it ), but on the contrary to make the audience benefit from it, from

A place dedicated to images, the Bleu du Ciel is inaugurating a new event this week: photographic cafés. One Wednesday evening per month, an artist will dialogue with an art critic and the public, from the projection in images of his work. Admission is free and the meeting is accompanied by an aperitif. The first photographic café, this Wednesday, May 22 at 7:30 p.m., will be dedicated to the work of Lyon artist Fabienne Ballandras. Exploring the imagery of our contemporary societies (in the fields of geopolitical, social, economic, judicial news, etc.), Fabienne Ballandras deconstructs it through the construction of scale models which she then photographs. Thanks to this astonishing process, the artist establishes a critical distance (with our representations of war or the ecological crisis, for example), and highlights the aesthetic codes of our ways of perceiving the world. A second photographic café is planned

Bookstore | La Madeleine, a generalist and independent bookstore, opens its doors at number 16 of the street of the same name in the 7th arrondissement.

Nina Roussel | Monday, May 6, 2019

“I came to see the new library! claims a lady with a smile on her face. In front of the yellow brick façade and the large white letters inscribed on a black background like on a blackboard, passers-by slow down, intrigued by this school-like storefront. Many curious people have already passed through the door, tell us the booksellers... For several months now, the inhabitants of the district have been waiting for the reopening of number 16, formerly occupied by a small restaurant. It is now done: Alexandra Villon, former bookseller, and Juliet Romeo, reconverted administrative manager, have taken over the 56m2 to establish their own bookstore. “Everything happened very quickly” reveal the two friends, confident: “the district moves a lot, and relies heavily on local shops, so there is a real demand for places of this type. Juliet and Alex speak knowingly: they live nearby. “We had this common desire to create, in this neighborhood that we love, a place of sharing, where we can settle down and feel good. » « A place also where children

Rap | French-speaking rap monopolizes the halls of Lyon. And fill them. This once rebellious and conscious genre, now entertaining, is now increasingly replacing variety.

Sebastien Broquet | Tuesday, April 2, 2019

What if it was French rap that saved the big concert halls? In Lyon, of course, the rise of this scene has not left venue and festival managers indifferent: at the Transbordeur, for two years, rap concerts have been full and are for many in the current good financial health. from the historic spot of Villeurbanne, like a notch higher, on the side of the Halle Tony Garnier, we savor the popular explosion of the genre which today allows PNL and Soprano (this Thursday, April 4) to fill a room hitherto squatted by singers of French variety and stars of Anglo-Saxon classic rock, all aging and at the end of their careers or quite simply, as Sibeth Ndiaye would put it not very finely, dead. And the succession is slow to come: Dominique A is not ready to fill a Halle. The omnipresence of French rap fills the directors of these rooms with joy, delighted to welcome an audience as socially broad as it is young and numerous. Gone are the days when the programmers of halls stamped rock freaked out at the idea of ​​programming a rapper (even if on the side of the SMAC, it has hardly moved) because of the

Movie of the Week | An unimaginative Palestinian screenwriter apprentice has the twists and turns of the sentimental political series dictated to him by an Israeli officer. Sameh Zoabi responds to the ambient absurdity with a comedy that is no less absurd Howling with realism and laughter.

Vincent Raymond | Wednesday, April 3, 2019

A weakling in his thirties, Salam has just found a job on the propaganda series Tel Aviv on fire produced by his uncle. As he resides in Jerusalem and the filming takes place in Ramallah, he has to go through a checkpoint every day run by Assi, an Israeli officer who becomes an occult adviser to the series, before trying to influence its directionWhen tears are inoperative and the anger inaudible, then there remains humor. Derision undoubtedly proves to be the most effective weapon when it comes to tackling a political situation that has been locked for ages, even centuries. On condition, of course, of handling it with intelligence and without partisanship; that is to say, by pointing out the thoughtless behavior of each in order to send all the protagonists back to back rather than face to face, by making them laugh together at their mutual failings and not against each other as in The Adventures of Rabbi Jacob. Sameh Zoabi shows that stupidity cannot take advantage of any passport: it only adopts different modulations depending on the characters.

Stephane Duchene | Tuesday, March 19, 2019

Because time is running out, we're over 40 and it's better to eat the barbecue while it's still smoking, the cranks Born Badians of Cannibale hardly lingered before giving a successor to their inaugural and three star No Mercy For Love. And to deliver a new model of rock craftsmanship and aesthetic idiosyncrasy that includes in its many ingredients its own exoticism, in addition to all those it summons from the four corners of genres, and a decidedly psychedelic sauce of which only these Bas- Normans have the secret. So much so that we come to think that the title of the said album, Not Easy to Cook, is very misleading, so much the relaxation and ease seem to run down the spine of these eleven electrifying titles oscillating between the mass not always black and the Sabbath dance (as on The Ugliest Rabbit of the 70's). Like a version, not revolutionary, no, but probably more refined of their previous exercise. “It is a delicate and sweet dish” sings

Forty years after being sent by King Vegeta to a hostile planet, super warrior Broly is found by Frieza's army. Now devoted to his savior, Broly must fight Vegeta Jr. and Goku on Earth, and subdue her on Friezas behalf. it lasts half of the film. A properly unjustifiable imbalance from a narrative point of view (the evolutions of characters follow one another in an one-upmanship bordering on the ridiculous it is the case to say it, because each higher degree gives rise to a new hair color; and a visual charivari almost unbearable, between the luna park under amphetamines and the forced contemplation of an electric Christmas garland on a July 14 evening. clichés of an artistically sloppy subculture a mediocrity of which Takahata, Miyazaki, Hosoda, Makoto Shinkai, Shunji Iwai among others, have pro

Portrait | Member of Collectif X, Maud Lefebvre has the rigor of diligent older children and the madness of those who try to shake up everyday life. It was as the director of Cannibale that this actress by training impressed us. With Maja, at the Renaissance this week, she invites the strange and our fears onto a stage. Rare.

Nadja Pobel | Tuesday, March 12, 2019

Spring 2016. Théâtre de llysée. Easter holiday week, therefore almost abysmal absence of programming in theaters, a hollow time for "professionals of the profession". See Cannibal almost by chance. And find there a beacon of contemporary creation: Maud Lefebvre stages a text by Agnès DHalluin written according to her original idea: how a young couple lives while an incurable disease seizes the body of one them? Everything is there: their setting (the different rooms of the apartment, the outside), their emotions (strong anger, mad love), their daily life (cooking, washing, switching off). With a story that rises well above the banal, a homosexuality never commented on, Maud Lefebvre signs a full work, where no element of the theater is neglected on the (real) pretext of a narrow economy. So the work in a hurry compensates: “I have two weeks of work on set, three at the most” she says. And always, to observe it, this concern to make shareable what is being plotted upstream. Maja, this week at the Renaissance is further proof of this. At 33, Maud Lefebvre

Bookstore | Specializing in the arts, the Michel Descours bookstore is getting a makeover by planning to open up to a wider public and to establish itself more strongly in the life of Greater Lyon.

Jean-Emmanuel Denave | Tuesday, March 5, 2019

Beneath its discreet and sometimes somewhat outdated exterior, rue Auguste Comte is in fact constantly changing. Traditional street of antique dealers, it also hosts many art galleries, some of which have very recently set up, such as the Ories gallery, the Henri Chartier gallery, or the street art gallery Slika... Cultural centers, such as the Goethe Institut and the Bullukian Foundation are very close. This situation seems a priori appropriate for a bookshop specializing in the arts such as the Librairie Michel Descours, which operates in osmosis with the gallery of the same name located just opposite. But if the place is nationally known and recognized by specialists (it is the first bookstore of its kind in France, or even perhaps in Europe!), it remains locally unknown to the general public. Even worse: it is sometimes scary, and the people of Lyon think that books are more expensive there than elsewhere (despite a single book price introduced in

Vice | A pop biopic of a cunning politician who is not very talkative, Vice approaches the path of the terrible Dick Cheney with cunning intelligence and a judicious second degree. We met its author in Paris, as well as the interpreter of Lynne Cheney. And we got them talking

Vincent Raymond | Tuesday, February 19, 2019

After 9/11, were you aware of Cheney's manipulative politics? Adam McKay: Frankly, no. It was not until the invasion of Iraq that suddenly there was a realization that something was wrong, that a response was not warranted. We participated in all the major protests, but it took almost two years for us to react. Adam, you say at the beginning of the film that the information on Cheney was difficult to find. How did you proceed? AMcK: Initially, our team of researchers explored the entire existing cheneyen corpus: all the official books, the interviews available on his life and his political work there was no shortage! Once this work was done, we recruited our own journalists who went behind the scenes to investigate, to meet all those people who had, at one time or another, dealt with the Cheney family, their political career. , to which was not official or established. Did you seek to

Biopic | In general, the function creates the organ. Sometimes a layout creates the function. As for the former vice-president of the United States Dick Cheney, with prerogatives sculpted by years behind the scenes and low blows, told here in a playful way. Brilliant and chilling.

Vincent Raymond | Wednesday, February 13, 2019

The fabulous destiny of a brawling drunk who, after one too many drinks and the admonishments of his wife, trades his life as a politician. Starting out as a small hand in the Nixon administration, the insatiable hawk managed to become the most powerful of American vice-presidents. attractive, at the limit of a great playful spectacle, the existence of an individual guided by his personal interest and his taste for occult manipulation.It is because Dick Cheney is not just anyone: a guy capable of send (without return) thugs to the other side of the world fight against imaginary threats, just to offer oil concessions to his friends, to twist the constitution to his advantage and to destabilize the globe permanently can compete with anyone what a villain of frankness. It is even surprising that McKay manages to find a glimmer of humanity in this pure oil Republican: in this case his renown.

Documentary | by Laetitia Carton (Fr, 1h39)

Vincent Raymond | Tuesday, October 30, 2018

There is an undeniable fiber of ethnology in Laetitia Carton. After having approached the deaf people in I will advance towards you with the eyes of a deaf man (2016), here she is interested in an episodic tribe: the participants of the Grands Bals, a traditional event in central France , where hundreds of folk dance enthusiasts meet for a week, day and night to happily dance. She herself has been a long-time follower, so the filmmaker recounts the phenomenon with one foot in, one foot out so to speak. Wandering among ecstatic participants, picking up some testimonies from young, old, old-young and young-old; adding a few comments here and there in her white voice, Laetitia Carton has difficulty in sharing the collective bewitchment. Granted, dancers are passionate, but collectors of key rings or makers of matchstick Eiffel Towers would be just as passionate. The feat would be to contaminate a public hermetic to these polkas, mazurkas, stuffed

Did you know that there were folk balls in central France lasting several days (and nights), attracting hundreds of enthusiasts eager to wear their soles on the floors and learn new steps?

3 questions to... | She dazzled us with her staging of Cannibal in 2016. Here she is in residence for three years at the Renaissance in Oullins. Encounter.

Nadja Pobel | Monday, September 10, 2018

How will this residency unfold? Maud Lefebvre: The theater will co-produce the next two shows, which I am doing with the Collectif X. For this year, they have bought Maja, my second creation which will be born in Andrézieu-Bouthéon in November. Next, I'm going to work on a film adaptation of John Cassavetes, A Woman Under the Influence, which I will direct. It's a challenge because it's a text already written whereas until then, I was in pure creations. The following year, the project, in collaboration with four authors, will take place in the future with two cosmonauts. And there will be workshops with children, the elderly, with Alzheimer's. Where does Maja's project come from, the first text as an author and which is aimed at children? It's not really for children. It's even a show for adults, adult-parents, but not necessarily because it can bring up things of its own

Casablanca, nowadays. Her family getting ready to conclude a nice transaction, Sofia is in bad shape. Taken to the hospital by her cousin, the young woman gives birth, totally flabbergasted. Unmarried mother, there she is, then, an outlaw; Sofia has one day to introduce the father. Who is he? Had he not tackled the delicate question of the denial of teenage pregnancy, this first feature film without preparation, raw and realistic would have already deserved the viewing. But it fits into the particular context of Moroccan society a straitjacket where sexual relations are strictly limited to marriage. Ferociously archaic rules, adjustable according to the income level of the offenders (and the amount of bribes they are able to pay to the police). Here, Sofias entourage orchestrates backroom shenanigans not to save the young mother from prison, but to safeguard the family honour: a scandal risks compromising the juicy affair in negotiation. This venality accompanied by a shameless commodification of women

Dogman | A brave dog groomer and a bully who treats him worse than a dog are at the center of "Dogman", the new moral tale by Matteo Garrone. A contemporary Italian story rewarded with the Best Actor Award at Cannes for Marcello Fonte.

Vincent Raymond | Thursday July 12, 2018

Is Dogman inspired by a news item? Matteo Garrone: Yes, it took place at the end of the 1980s, and it is very famous in Italy because it was particularly violent. But we were very freely inspired by it: we reworked it with our imagination. There was never any question of reconstructing in detail what had happened. We also changed the ending, since Marcello is a gentle character, incapable of violence. In the film, he acts out of self-defense, not out of premeditation. I am particularly happy that the film is presented in a country where this news item is absolutely unknown: the ideal spectator is the one who will see it without having this story in mind and without comparing it with reality. In Italy, the film suffered a little from this news item at least at the beginning. Some spectators said to themselves "it's going to be extremely violent, so I'm not going to see it". Then, word of mouth helped him. In fact, the violence present in the film is above all psychological, and not

Dog groomer in a dilapidated city, Marcello the good dough becomes the minion of a drug addict bully terrorizing the neighborhood, Simoncino, who does not miss an opportunity to abuse his kindness. But after one too many humiliating betrayals, the frail Marcello claims his due "The eternal silence of these infinite spaces frightens me" Did Blaise Pascal foresee the decor of Dogman while writing his Pensées? A vast expanse open onto a no less interminable sea, this scene recalls the agora of Reality, this microcosm in which a myriad of dramas can hatch and play out for all to see; everyone is free to open or close their eyes to what is happening under their windows. its victims, the most harmless (in this case the helpful Marcello) is akin to magical thinking or exorcism: by implicitly siding with the executioner, one hopes

Strings in Ballad | Cordes en ballad, 20th edition! All in joy, in multiple astonishments, in conviviality: the initial bet exceeded expectations.

Pascale Clavel | Tuesday, June 19, 2018

For 20 years, Cordes en Ballade has become a benchmark for lovers of demanding, diverse and subtle music. The artistic direction, led from the outset by the Debussy Quartet, remains terribly inventive. Twelve days of walks in the Ardèche in the heart of a program in the form of an elegant patchwork, where each festival-goer goes to meet improbable music. Le Teil, Viviers, Antraigues-sur-Volane, Cruas, Alba-la-Romaine, Privas let's go for a stroll! This 20th edition opens at the Saint-Vincent-de-Viviers cathedral with a strong tribute to Claude Debussy for the centenary of his death. This is followed by a program rich in quirky experiences: we step straight into Offenbachs kitchen, with a concert of parodies of operettas where the Debussy Quartet and the solo singers of Orphéon la Compagnie Vocale combine to interpret his most big hits. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the festival, the Quatuor Léonis let loose in a crazy show: Éclisse TOTAL. The musicians roll out music in all its forms, go from rock

Golden Demon | On the heights of Lyon, in a rural and bucolic setting, the fourteenth edition of the Démon dOr festival promotes diversity and eclecticism. On the program: the unmissable dub and techno scenes. New this year, Francophone hip-hop is making a remarkable entrance with an impressive selection of artists.

Louis Dufourt | Tuesday, June 19, 2018

New programmer, new atmosphere. The colorful capitals, open-air stages and themed gardens against a forest background will be present, we can be reassured. In the town of Poleymieux-au-Mont-dOr, the festival will last three days with the opening of the main stage on Sunday afternoon: when you love, you dont count. Originally oriented towards the frenetic trance, techno and dub sounds, Démon dOr opens its doors to urban music. And how: in three days, all the big names of the current French-speaking hip-hop scene will follow one another with Lomepal, Moha La Squale, Caballero and JeanJass and lOr du Commun, to name only the most publicized. And Moha and MohaTwo sentences by Brel and Brassens, the story of his career as a drug dealer, an angel face, the flow of Mister U, the hair of PNL and millions of views on YouTube thanks to his streets

Refugee Food Festival | “Some regions are in the process of being deconstructed because they are overwhelmed by the flow of asylum seekers,” says a former mayor who has become a minister. OMG: Lyon gastronomy will end up dismantled, scattered? Unless initiatives like the Refugee Food Festival offer a new meaning to the somewhat outdated title of world capital of good food...

Adrien Simon | Monday, June 11, 2018

After a first French edition in 2016, a second European one last year, the Parisians of Food Sweet Food, Marine Mandrila and Louis Martin, authors of a remarkable Very Food Trip (Planète+ for the series, La Martinière for the book), are internationalizing their Refugee Food Festival this year. In this month of June the 20th being World Refugee Day restaurants in New York, Athens, Bologna, San Francisco or Cape Town are turning their menus upside down and welcoming cooks in exile. Admittedly, Brooklyn is a bit far to go eat Afghan [we invent: the program is not yet available when we close], but fortunately, Lyon also hosts the event.Get involvedThis thanks to Claire Fournier and Clara de La Fonchais who carry out the project voluntarily this is how the RFF works and the collaboration of restaurateurs who invite, for one or two evenings, foreign chefs who have recently obtained asylum in France. So,
