Upside-Down All Arounds explores the different ways we perceive the world around us with exciting visuals and illusionist tricks straight from the circus. Spectators enter a space in which the laws of gravity and time can be reversed, expanded or eliminated, creating a moment suspended in time, transforming meaning, orientation and emotions. In this playful cosmos, even falling will be upside-down.

Granita Redlove is a pop and sentimental choir fuelled by ten years of friendship and a desire to form a group. This year, after a long winter, Granita Redlove is organising its "Boom Boum" in the Foundation’s Auditorium!

Somewhere between Charly and Lulu’s Hit Machine, the Olympic Games opening ceremony and the most ambitious end-of-year show ever put on by a Year 6 class. On the programme: choir, love, glitter and a very bad idea of calm.

The brass bands “Le Fire Brass Band d’Aulnay-sous-Bois” (Saturday) and “La Fabrique Orchestrale Junior de Pantin” (Sunday) offer a fresh take on classic New Orleans second-line funk, as well as music from North Africa, the French Caribbean and the British Caribbean. These two brass bands are composed of 12 to 17 teenaged musicians accompanied by professional musicians.

In this colourful, geometric play space, youngsters and their parents are guided in the world of artist Alice Guillier’s graphic composition: a set of giant, soft, flexible dominoes lies on the floor to be explored in endless ways, through observation, handling, play or rest. A memory to compose, recompose and slide into place. Triangles and squares, lines and colours, the elements intersect, combine and join together for an immersive visit in an environment that changes as the pieces are moved, mixed and matched.

Luce Couillet wanted to recreate the sensation one has when flying in an airplane, suspended above a fluffy bed of weightless clouds warmed by the sun.

Tropopause is an aerial installation, somewhere between bird wings and molecular necklaces, which babies and parents can operate by hand or simply admire from the comfort of a cumulonimbus cloud.
