In collaboration with Armando Punzo and his team of the Volterra Teatro, and with our colleagues in Madera, we will share our practices and experiences about the cultural and artistic actions promoting the relation between the creators and the citizens.

MigrActions 2017 – 10th edition

MigrActions 10 : 10 years !

From the very beginning 10 years ago, we have claimed our will to celebrate the migartion of the styles, of the identities, of the generations. Cultures in action, in motion, from various artistical horizons. Already 10 years, but still not enough yet !

The tenth anniversary of our Festival began in February, in Madera, when we have created the Festival de Ponto do Sol with our partners Travessias Culturais and Volterra Teatro.

From the 27th of June to the 8th of July, in the beginning of summer, our energies will gather for the festival : theater, music, dance, perfomances, worshops… will be offered each night in the 12th district of Paris.

But the words are always useless, if they don’t move to action.

Migr…Actions 10, that’s our challenge !

With the current political context, wh have naturally chosen to dedicate a part of our programmation to the United Kingdom, an european land. The Great-Britain in Europe : Brit-in. Finance doesn’t determine geography, history or culture, long live to BRIT’IN!

This year, the programmation has been extended and 22 shows have been presented : 12 in Theater, 4 in Music, 2 in Dance, 2 readings, 1 exhibition and 1 conference.
