On the occasion of the final opening weekend of the exhibitions Étonner la catastrophe, X! Un opéra fantastique and A Truly Shared Love, the Frac offers an exceptional program of performance, creation and sharing.

The closing event kicks off on Saturday with a performance concert by artist Cécile Meynier, before continuing on Sunday with a creative drawing session with artist and illustrator Hippolyte Cupillard. The event will culminate in an exceptional auction of the clothes that make up Jordan Paillet's La petite fille aux allumettes.

A unique opportunity to accompany the end of the exhibitions by exploring different forms of creation and meeting the artists who have been involved.

Saturday, March 29th

> 6pm (duration: 45 min)
Performance concert by Cécile Meynier, La danseuse en chasse-neige
Cécile Meynier's work defies categorization. Painting, sculpture, ceramics, site-specific interventions, performances, custom-built exhibition furniture - she draws on the potential of various traditional and non-traditional media to develop a formal language. The performative aspect allows her to inhabit her work, bringing it from the formal to the living. By mixing all these elements with a definite attachment to color and decoration, she seems to set up a folklore all her own, punctuated by performances that appear as strange and highly personal rituals.
