LIVING MEMORY OF THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

Portraits, stories, archives and residents' voices create a collective memory of the Canebière. The celebration tells the story of the neighbourhood through the people who live there.

CHILDREN, FAMILIES AND TRANSMISSION

A walking performance, discovery of the bandstand's history, workshops, games and circus activities create an accessible, participatory and intergenerational programme.
