¡FANDANGO!
Music and dance at the Sea Theater in Sète
Friday, June 17, 2022
On a red circular track, paradoxical sensations slap in the face. Between pure flamenco and contemporary gestures, electro and traditional songs, with a cascade of grains of rice, in shoes but also barefoot, this piece, over which the shadows of Antonio Gadès and Pina Bausch hover, offers a stunning synthesis of the advances of this art. To speak of fandango is to speak of tradition, of soil. It is also the name of the piece thought up together, by the dancer and choreographer David Coria and the flamenco singer David Lagos. The show received the Critics' Award from the prestigious Jerez Festival 2021.
Theater of the Sea at 9.30 p.m.

Giorgio Dante, Italian figurative painter born in 1982, is part of the purest tradition of great Italian realist painting.

Museum of Brut Art in Montpellier
“Inside, always go inside. There is a multitude of things to discover in oneself. For thirty years, I have been faithful to paper, a support that I make from paper pulp that comes from rags. This material is a soft texture like cotton, a metaphor for the drape and the skin; a knotty, hollow or flat matrix in which I inscribe my writing, I structure my language, I obey creation. I remember that as a child, at school, I built invisible ramparts to protect myself. »

His recent works
Louis Gauffier's trip to Italy
Until September 4, 2022
Fabre Museum – Montpellier
A first dedicated to the career of Louis Gauffier, painter of the end of the 18th century. Born in Poitiers in 1762, Louis Gauffier is one of those European artists for whom Italy was a land of choice. Winner of the Prix de Rome in 1784, he discovered the Eternal City and its remains, then Florence and Tuscany from 1793, until his early death in 1801. It was in Italy, in Rome then in Florence, that Louis Gauffier and François-Xavier Fabre became comrades and friends. The care with which Fabre collected works by his friend after his early death explains today the very fine representation of Gauffier at the Montpellier museum, the exhibition of which will allow visitors to discover the richness of his career.

Against nature
Ceramics, a test of fire
Until September 4, 2022
La Panacée-MoCo – Montpellier
Contre-Nature is an exhibition populated by monsters, insolent and hybrid forms: these grotesque creatures, enamel and earth, form a luxuriant, original, mysterious, disturbing or hallucinatory world. Nature is artifice and artifice becomes nature to decategorize scales and values, overturn perceptions and clichés about sculpture and the ceramic tradition. The collected works deal less with ceramics as folklore than with modeling and alchemy as techniques and magic. Water, earth and fire are the essential, unequaled components of these new worlds: "what is against custom is called unnatural." — Montaigne.
