Saturday 9th May

Sam Erpelding, alias Dankwart, sound artist
21:00 Horizon Brisé
After its premiere as part of Musique Plus in 2025, *Horizon Brisé* returns to the Valentiny Foundation in a reinvented setting and with a new creation. “Horizon Brisé” evokes a break in the continuity of expectations. This title suggests a distorted vision of the natural cycle of the seasons, where each stage is deconstructed to reveal an unexpected, fragmented, and reinterpreted essence. The horizon, often a symbol of constancy and stability, becomes here a space where order is disrupted.
Programme :
Océane Müller, video

Patrick Muller, tender light, quiet destruction
Patrick Muller, as the party’s over, I watch you, in love
Patrick Muller, superflare, all super, all dead
