Akoda ft Géraldine Laurent at Festival Éclats d’Émail
At the Théâtre de l’Union in Limoges, Akoda joins saxophonist Géraldine Laurent in the orbit of Festival Éclats d’Émail, a jazz setting known for sustained dialogue with artists from Nouvelle-Aquitaine and beyond. The concert draws on Creole and Caribbean rhythms, improvisation and a long-running ensemble sound, giving the festival a bright meeting point between jazz writing and island-inflected movement.

Festival de la Luzege: Figaro Divorce in Argentat
Festival de la Luzege brings Figaro Divorce to Argentat as part of its fortieth edition, with Fabrice Henry directing a large-scale adaptation after Odon von Horvath. The play follows Figaro and Suzanne into exile after the Revolution, where loyalty, ambition and displacement begin to fracture. The production’s 1980s-inspired music gives the story a sharper contemporary vibration without losing its historical pressure. The Argentat stop gives the touring festival another local stage, extending the work beyond a central venue and into the Dordogne Valley public circuit.
Medieval Illumination Workshop at Chateau de Bonaguil
At Chateau de Bonaguil, the illumination workshop focuses on the ornamental miniatures that gave medieval manuscripts their visual force. The activity brings a patient craft into public view: line, color, decoration and the discipline of small-scale image making. Inside the castle’s heritage setting, manuscript art becomes a technique to observe and practice rather than a distant museum object. That level of technique gives the page enough specificity, because illumination depends on gesture, surface, pigment and patience rather than a broad medieval mood.
