SUMMER EXHIBITION

ABORIGINAL ART FROM SUNDAY JULY 9 TO SUNDAY AUGUST 27 Experience all the richness of Australian aboriginal art.

Aboriginal art is certain to enjoy a very positive future. This exhibition is already an international success story. People in China, India, Japan, the USA and Europe have been moved by these works and by these artists. With its balance of sincerity, depth and complex meaning, the overall effect is seductive and powerful. The exhibition evokes the spirit of the ancient land of Australia.

The paintings recount vivid tales of aboriginal cultures and beliefs. But it is also an art form which has evolved. The artists have a deep spiritual connection and are still familiar with the secret world of Dreams and the power of magical and sacred symbols which depict the creation of the world. These symbols provide a gateway to the sacred dimension of the Dream – which links the past to the present; which evokes their ancestors’ stories; or which provides a connection with the earth and with sacred sites. The belief 10

in the power of Dreams has shaped aboriginal society via stories passed down from generation to generation since time immemorial.

However, although the sacred and symbolic elements are just as strong, aboriginal art has evolved considerably since 1971. Contemporary painters have found different ways to externalise their thoughts and knowledge. The artistic expression is extremely strong. The artists’ desire to produce a visually-powerful art work is totally compatible with their desire to preserve and disseminate a culture and to pass it down to future generations.

Marc Yvonnou At the Odysséa Centre, free admission Open from 10am to 12am and from 3pm to 6:30pm. Closed on Monday.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SUMMER

LA DÉFERLANTE FROM 11 JULY TO 22 AUGUST Summer arts festival

SATURDAY 15 JULY Gaël Faye – Concert Gaël Faye is a Franco-Rwandan singer-songwriter and rap musician. His voice embodies his poetry with a down-to-earth realism. His words are like groups of small islands, linked by a sea of piano music. His piano is opened out wide to generate warmly resonant tones from the wood and mechanisms, which are just as important as the notes played. Accompanied on stage by Guillaume Poncelet and Blanka, Gaël Faye will take us on a journey from Bujumbura to Paris, and into terras incognitas.

Espace des oiseaux, 9:30 pm Information: Tourist Office - +33 (0)2 72 78 80 80 www.en.saint-jean-de-monts.com 11

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SUMMER

TUESDAY 18 JULY Leïla and The Koalas – Concert Leila has returned from her travels through the heart of America inspired by traditional folk melodies and bluegrass music, all overlaid on gospel roots. Double bass, guitar and voice merge in a collection of authentic melodies.

They deliver a musical experience imbued with a heady mix of conviviality and complicity, both between the performers and with the audience. Leila’s unique and warmly appealing voice defines the sound created by this unusual combination of three talented performers. Music bathed in sunlight, with a positive feel.

Square Albert Pommier, near to the beach’s covered market, 9:30 pm TUESDAY 1 AUGUST Le NID - Cie Adhok Peek out from the nest. Look around see just how big the world is. Grow and extend your wings before daring to fly out. Who knows what might suddenly happen around you as you launch into the unknown? What happens when the fledgling leaves the nest?

Square Albert Pommier, near to the beach’s covered market, 9:30 pm – everyone welcome

TUESDAY 25 JULY Sodade - Rouages performance company A Black Sea fable, set to music, with dance and a looped high wire. …Whenever there was a storm in the evening, an old man, exiled many years before, used to walk down to the shore. The caress of the wind on his face would revive forgotten memories. A waking dream evocative of happy times gone by, that he should never forget, and should continue to live out, at any cost. On and under two lengths of high wire strung between two giant wheels..., four dancers with a perfect sense of balance will move forward and back, like the waves of a time gone by, unceasingly... … they are accompanied by two musicians who play, sing and recount a powerful fable, a hymn to life with a unique Black Sea setting…

Square Albert Pommier, near to the beach’s covered market, 9:45 pm - For everyone over 5 years old

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SUMMER SATURDAY 19 AUGUST RADIO ELVIS Not surprisingly, Radio Elvis was soon compared with the likes of Dominique A and Bashung. The group is securing its place in the illustrious list of French language-speaking rockers. Winning album of the year at the Musique 2016 event, their live performances are built on powerful and varied guitar sounds, which generate a frenetic urge to take the music to a different level. When the energy of rock music meets the French language, the result is the surprising cocktail which is, Radio Elvis.

Square Albert Pommier, near to the beach’s covered market, 9:30 pm - over 12s

THURSDAY 3 AUGUST ELECTRO DELUXE - Concert Despite its name, Electro Deluxe is not an electro-funk group... The band’s «Circle» tour is the result of a concerted quest for total authenticity. Original instruments, vintage equipment and recording sessions in the historical Sidney Bechet studios have contributed to this authenticity. And now you can experience it live!

Place de l’église, 9:30 pm

MARDI 22 AOÛT Jacqueline and Marcel – Chekhov’s «The Bear» Theatre and Improvisation There will be wind blowing across the steppes, maybe even snow. There will be Popova, a young widow and Smirnov, a landowner who is still quite young. There will be Chekhov’s text and its intrigue. There will be Jacqueline and Marcel. There will be the audience.

This is all we know for certain. Beyond that… anything could happen! It’s all about the moment, the unexpected and how everyone is on the night.
