Each activity becomes an invitation to slow down, to observe differently and to deepen our relationship with the places we inhabit. The festival thus brings together artists, citizens, thinkers and knowledge bearers in a collective experience where creation becomes a space for attention, dialogue and the future.<\/p>\n<p>The vast majority of activities are free and a solidarity price list allows everyone to participate according to their means.<\/p>\n<p>A PLACE THAT DOES NOT EXIST IN THE CITYEspace DesPr\u00e9s is an old barn dating from 1919, transformed into an artists&rsquo; residence and surrounded by a seven-acre meadow, century-old willows and works of art. Founded in 2015, the organization adopted its new identity in 2026 after eleven years under the name Arts and Dreams. Each year, DesPr\u00e9s welcomes around twenty artists in residence and awards three creative grants.<\/p>\n<p>The 2026 edition marks the culmination of a project lasting several years: the commissioning of a permanent outdoor agora intended to host outdoor artistic shows and gatherings. Equipped with professional sound and lighting, it will be able to accommodate all artistic disciplines: theater, music, dance and circus thanks to anchors specially designed for aerial arts.<\/p>\n<p>AN ARTISTIC VISION ROOTED IN LIVING LIFE Since September 2023, Espace DesPr\u00e9s has been directed by Jasmine Catudal, co-founder of OFFTA and LA SERRE \u2013 arts vivants, former co-artistic director of Usine C and co-founder of \u00c9cosc\u00e9no. Under his direction, the program explores the relationships we have within living things and with the territories we inhabit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn an era marked by ecological, social and cultural upheaval, we believe that art has an essential role to play in helping us imagine other ways of inhabiting the world. With Pour la suite du monde, we wish to create a space for meeting between artistic disciplines, knowledge, citizens and the living world. The festival invites us to slow down, reflect, celebrate and reconnect with what connects us to each other and to the territories we inhabit. \u00bb \u2014 Jasmine Catudal, general and artistic director, Espace DesPr\u00e9s<\/p>\n<p>DECLARE THE LIVING AS PARTNERS IN CREATION On Saturday, August 29, DesPr\u00e9s will publicly launch its manifesto Declare the living as partners in creation on the occasion of a day of reflection bringing together artists, researchers, cultural workers and citizens around training in regenerative design, a panel and the opening of the Alliance Terrestrial exhibition. Born from a growing need for coherence between the values carried by the works and the ways of creating them, this manifesto invites us to go beyond reducing environmental impacts. It proposes to consider the living as true creative partners and to imagine artistic practices capable of nourishing territories, communities and our relationships within the living. Faced with a crisis of sensitivity which weakens our connection to the world, he affirms that the arts can contribute to repairing what connects us.<\/p>\n<p>OVERVIEW OF THE PROGRAMMINGFour outdoor shows presented in the new agora, an evening of large gathering, a day devoted to creative practices attentive to the territories, a day of repair, exhibitions, workshops and meetings for young and old make up this third edition.
