2062, back and forth to the future

From 1 February to 25 March 2012
An exhibition, theatre, concerts, screenings and opportunities to meet artists

2062 by Geneviève Gauckler
 

8 weeks to leave your mark on the future
 

In 50 years, La Gaîté Lyrique will celebrate its bicentenary. On this occasion, we invite you, alongside artists, thinkers, makers and do-it-yourselfers, to imagine the future within a veritable space-time capsule, throwing yourself forwards into a future that will occupy all the different spaces at La Gaîté over the course of two months.
These journeys back and forth between the future and the present will take place within the framework of an exhibition, theatre, concerts, screenings and opportunities to meet artists as well as individual and collective experiences.

Innovation and creativity with respect to social customs and togetherness are the leitmotif of this event for the new year to include:

  • The exhibition
  • Live theatre and music
  • Social experiments: hypnosis...
  • Screenings and opportunities to meet artists and speakers


Throw yourself into the future to get a better vision of the present as you walk through the doors at La Gaîté Lyrique.
