MUSIC

Machka - DJ Set

HALL

Franco-Colombian artist Eléonore Reyes is a multi-instrumentalist fascinated by the sounds of the world. She uses computer-assisted composition to turn birdsong, drum breaks, haunting flutes and psychedelic synthesisers into audio artistry that sweeps you into her dreamlike world.

Trypheme - Live

HALL

Let the passionate, intuitive language of Tryphème transform your perspective. The DJ produces hybrid music composed of hazy melodies and incisive beats. Reinventing conventional customs and codes, she crafts musical spheres inspired by imagined landscapes, life stories and wistful creations.

La Cantine du Marché has a New York-inspired bar serving local draft beers, including Pale Ale and IPA, a sparkling Hugo cocktail, organic craft lemonades and ginger beer.
