Throughout the day, visitors will discover a vibrant program showcasing the many voices of contemporary creation. Illustrator Yann Legendre will present his bold visual universe through striking and expressive works. The San Francisco Ballet and the San Francisco Girls Chorus will offer moments of pure artistry, blending movement, harmony and emotion on stage.
The photography exhibition “De l’Ombre à la Lumière”, created in collaboration with photographer Fred Aube, will explore expatriate life through intimate narratives shaped by light, shadow and memory. Students from the Academy of Art University will present an ambitious fashion show that highlights emerging talent and fearless creativity. The sensitive and expressive paintings of Marie Détrée, Official Painter of the French Navy, will also be on display, offering a unique artistic perspective.
To close this celebration of art, culture and human stories, the day will end with the world premiere of “Stay Trippy Little Hippy”, a heartfelt and humorous one-woman show performed by American actress Stacey Legendre.
All day long, visitors will be invited to move between performances, exhibitions, workshops and unexpected artistic encounters: an invitation to experience art in its diversity, intensity and joy !
