17 Mai 2017 - Place de Souvret

Eric Bettens Live.jpg

A show born from collective memory. On May 17, 2017, Eric Bettens took over the Place de Souvret to pay tribute to the miners of the so-called "6 Périer" pit, those who shaped this territory with their hands and sweat. Lasers, video projections and choreographies by the Artemis dance company composed a monumental tribute before 1,500 spectators. For the finale, 2,000 Chinese lanterns were meant to rise into the sky, permission was refused due to the proximity of the airport. That evening, emotion soared all the way to the stars.
