THE FESTIVAL’S OPENING NIGHT
Visits, music and picnic! Tuesday 3rd June, from 6.30pm – Free entry/open to all (Metro Mairie d’Issy)
Le Cube Festival has organised a grand opening night, open to all, with a wide range of festive events. With family, friends, alone or as a couple, coming out of the métro or in virtual worlds, there will be something for everyone on the opening night!
TOURS AND GET-TOGETHERS
From 6.30pm to 10pm, Esplanade de l’Hôtel de Ville, free access
Special tours of the exhibition will be arranged throughout the evening, from 6.30pm onwards. The festival’s mediators will welcome all, children and adults, to the pieces placed along the itinerary. Visitors will also be able to meet the artists whose pieces are exhibited, present on the opening night, to share their mutual experience of the festival.
ELEGANGZ DJ SET
Esplanade de l’Hôtel de Ville, free access
Mathilde Mallen, musician and actress, and Juan de Guillebon, musician, are part of the Elegangz collective, teaming up for the first time for the Cube Festival, in order to lead the festival-goers on an atypical audio and visual walk, riddled with intrigue and suspense.
Navigating between seventies rock, funk, dark disco and electro, Mathilde Mallen constructs a hybrid universe along with Dye, a sound and vision electronic project incarnated by Juan de Guillebon. Elegangz is a production company and an international artist collective, promoting digital creation and the bringing together of different artistic disciplines. The duo’s mutual influence will vouch for an eclectic mix of sounds.
EZ3KIEL live
9pm, tickets (10 €), at the Issy-les-Moulineaux Auditorium (M° Mairie d’Issy)
Ez3kiel will open the Cube Festival’s Hybrid Evenings with a live show that will take us through enchanted worlds, whether through sound or vision (see previous page).
PICNIC
Esplanade de l’Hôtel de Ville / bring your picnic!
The month of June will be hot and sunny! Well, we like to think so anyway. In celebration of the festival’s opening, but also the coming summer, the Cube Festival declares the picnic season open! Fill your baskets with food and drink, and we’ll bring chequered cloths, nibbles and nice bottles to what promises to be a great place to meet new friends and have a pleasant time together.
SECOND LIFE PARTY: unveiling of the Cube’s first media building / from 6.30pm
For all those who can’t make it to Issy-les-Moulineaux or who prefer to walk their avatar around virtual worlds, the Cube Festival invites you to the opening night on the MCD cultural island, with a similarly rich programme: get-togethers, performances and discoveries! It will also be a great occasion to unveil the Cube’s first media building, created by Xavier Boissarie and Roland Cahen. They have adapted their “Bandonéon” piece for the occasion, also viewable along the festival’s itinerary. This piece will take its place on the Cube’s virtual façade for the whole year.
