Theatre of  digital arts
Next week marks the opening of la Gaité Lyrique, the new cultural space dedicated to all kinds of digital culture and creation (music, graphic design, video games, cinema…). At first we thought it might be  another cultural alibi to spend another shopping-and-beers-at-la-Perle afternoon, but the project seems very innovative and we are looking forward to visiting the place.
The 9500m2 will be divided between a video game space, two concert halls, an auditorium, exhibition spaces, 2 cafe/bars, and one shop. The programming, focused on young and emerging artists, will include thematic exhibitions, concerts, live performances, and regular visits from music labels, festivals, city or avant-garde media.

First week program (2 March-6 March):
artistic journey: UVA (United Visual Artist) / I Could Never Be A Dancer
Interactive Theatre: Rimini Protokoll – Best Before, a creation between video games and theatre
Concerts: Wed 2 March: Mekanik Kantatik / Lucky Dragons / Konono n1
