(Re)play Esch2022, Rockhal (L)

Make way for the artists who have made their mark on Esch2022! This is an opportunity to see or re-see the performances that have thrilled the region in recent months.

“Floor” area, from 8.30 pm: L’Apéro littéraire 

The Apéro Littéraire is presented by 5 professional musicians and actors as well as 5 amateurs from the Esch2022 project “Rêves d’Europe” of the municipality of Bettembourg. A show of songs and theatre on the theme of Europe. The show is based on the work of Laurent Gaudé, winner of the 2004 Goncourt Prize, and presents extracts from : “Nous, L’Europe, le banquet des peuples”. It presents the dreams of Europe that may have sprung up in authors as different as Erasmus, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Victor Hugo, Stefan Zweig, Jules Romains, Robert Desnos, Céline, Jean-François Billeter, Simone Veil and Robert Schuman.

“Main Hall” area: BELONG in collaboration with Altercadance and Capoeira Team Luxembourg

The BELONG project, revolving around European and world music, aims to preserve the world’s cultural heritage while promoting understanding and intercultural exchange through folk art, creating synergies between multidisciplinary and multicultural art forms. Through the Esch2022 project, musicians and artists have come together through a series of courses, boot camps and workshops to celebrate the art and music of their countries and cultures and bring them together in unique artistic creations.

Capoeira Team Luxembourg exemplifies sport, dance and inclusion. Within the framework of Esch2022, capoeira classes and Afro-Brazilian dances (maculélé, jongo, puxada de rede, samba de roda) were offered to the general public through the project “La Roda”. On a huge stage in the south of Luxembourg, the participants performed the dance steps they had learned.

Altercadance presented the PONT INVISIBLE project as part of Esch2022. The choreographer and dancer Modestine Ekete unfolds in poems an invitation to enter the world of women as mothers, workers and immigrants. She tells us about her career, about her feeling of integration in Europe and especially in Luxembourg. Dance, theatre, song, music, fairy tales and reading are the common thread of AlterCadance’s workshops, which are based on African gestures and forms of expression.

“Club” area: La Jungle – Collaborations brutes

The cross-border project La Jungle – Collaborations Brutes (Belgium-France) is a cross-border pop, rock and electro music project supported by the Communauté de communes Pays Haut Val d’Alzette (CCPHVA). Within the framework of Esch2022, the project united the FrancoFolies of Esch-sur-Alzette, the Belgian trans-noise duo La Jungle and the Institut Médico Éducatif of Aumetz. Accompanied by the Parisian collective Brut Pop – Music Education and Inclusion, the young people of the Institute and the group La Jungle met during a joint sound piece. After several residencies in Luxembourg and France, several tracks were presented in the framework of FrancoFolies 2022 in Esch -sur- Alzette and in L’Arche (FR).

“Floor” area, à partir de 22h15 : Désoeuvrés et é(s)chauffés

For their ninth season, Désoeuvrés and E(s)chauffés are invading the south for events that are part of the urban, playful and multidisciplinary continuity of the project while exploring the themes and particularities of the year of the European Capital of Culture in 2022. For the first event, the artists will take over various bars in the city of Esch, forcing literature to leave its ivory tower in order to go and meet places where the layers of the population mix. For the second event, the authors will have worked with local musicians in order to present together texts that are topped with music, which develop, surrounded by sounds, unheard-of directions.

11:00pm-03:00am

Party all night long, L'Arche (F)

The party continues on the other side of the border! Hop on the bus to France and dance the night away to the pulsating electronic beats.

DJ Sets :

Miss Sappho
His style can be described as melodic and rhythmic with powerful bass. An eclectic mix of deep house, tech house, acid and progressive sounds, combined with melodies and vocals.
Let yourself be carried away into her world, you are welcome…

La CREOLE
La CREOLE is a multidisciplinary collective dedicated to the influence of mixed cultures.
Carried by a big family of DJs and dancers, it is the fusion of these creative souls that ignites the eponymous party that has been rocking Paris since January 2018.
The perfect fusion between a sound system and an underground techno party, all sprinkled with carnival energy and a hint of voguebeats.
Afro beats, bouyon, kompa, funky uk, gabber, zouk, cumbia, techno, electro, dancehall, Gwoka, Hip Hop, socca…
Fully animated by dance and sharing, we celebrate diversity in terms of gender, origin, sexual orientation and more… The will of the collective is to gather and transmit this mix in an inclusive way.

Bernadette
Appreciated for her DJ sets and her multi-faceted productions, the Grenoble native frees herself from genre restrictions. She moves happily between House, Funk, Acid and Italo disco music, to Rave, passing by more spasmodic rhythms between Breakbeat, UK Bass, Jungle & Bass Music… all with a disconcerting ease.

La Zintrie
La Zintrie was created in 2017 by a team of enthusiasts. This collective is bound by a common project: sharing a passion, energizing spaces, striking spirits and surprising them with discovery. One of their greatest assets is their musical diversity, which is reflected in their events and artists centred on three styles: Techno – Bass – House
