IMMERSE YOURSELF IN A FASCINATING WORLD!
Full steam ahead, the Steampunk Festival returns for a second edition.
Ladies and gentlemen, get your period costumes and cog-wheeled inventions ready, polish your monocles and embark on another extraordinary journey through time. On March 15 and 16, Europe's largest railway museum invites visitors to plunge into a fascinating retro-futuristic universe, where Victorian elegance merges with fantastic steam engines.
What is Steampunk? This cultural movement, inspired by the works of Jules Verne, reinvents a spectacular 19th century, far more technologically advanced than it was. Improbable machines, refined costumes and extravagant adventures make up this timeless universe, which is sure to amaze you!
Whether you're in costume or not, take part in a unique festive event that's not to be missed. Whether you're just curious or a fervent fan of steam and time adventures, a rich and dazzling program awaits you with :
Art exhibitions and encounters: Admire the visionary works of Didier Graffet, who will be signing his work, and explore the fascinating worlds of Sam Van Olffen. You can also discover the talent of local painter Catherine Biehler, who will create a work of art in front of your amazed eyes. An experience not to be missed!
Lectures: Let Arthur Morgan and Pomm3 Cosplay educate you on the fascinating world of Steampunk. Come away with a wealth of knowledge and anecdotes to help you shine in society!
Strolling entertainment: Experience captivating performances throughout the festival! Listen to the bellowing gramophone reveal all the anecdotes from his cabinet of curiosities! Be transported by the Futuravapeur company, France's most eccentric stilt-walkers, and Céleste Coquemille, Gaspard Brignantin and their friends as they entertain the crowd with their mischief. Vibrate to the rhythm of the mysterious Santa Desdemona, who will charm your ears with bewitching tunes, and Jack's Lair will sharpen the taste buds of the most daring among you and check the validity of your time passports.
Improbable duels: Are you up for a challenge? Challenge your opponents in competitions as elegant as they are absurd, under the mischievous eye of judges Vany and Aernor! Test your skills with our vintage games and let the magic happen.
Costume exhibition and creation: Discover an exhibition of exceptional retro-futuristic outfits, and watch Grisette and Mister Asticot create a Steampunk costume from scratch, before your amazed eyes all weekend long.
Period crafts: Rediscover the magic of period printing with Imprima'Scrap. These authentic demonstrations using historic machines will take you on a journey back in time.
Creative workshops: Unleash your imagination with Benjamin Black Flame, leather craftsman and cosplayer, who will lead creative workshops. You'll also be able to take home your own custom Steampunk goggles, and adopt the elegant retro-futuristic and industrial style of the Victorian 19th century!
Market of curiosities: Are you missing an accessory that will make all the difference? Browse the stalls of exceptional artisans and designers to unearth unique treasures and sublimate your outfit in our Steampunk Market!
To make the experience even more unforgettable, a period Gazette will be distributed to visitors. Welcome to the future as imagined by the past! Or is it the other way around?
