It has sought, and continues to seek, to open a window. A restless ritual every year: accompanying the emergence and irreverence of new artistic languages, put to use by a constellation of artists that is itself renewed with each edition.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>To seek out the impertinent and find relevance in the ever-emergent: Les Urbaines is essentially an anti-heritage festival. Outside the logic of the market, and by constantly reshuffling the cards, to make room for those who, caught between calling and prophecy, seek to develop their own vocabulary, step outside their time, detach themselves, set themselves free. Les Urbaines is difficult to categorise and pin down. It moves in all directions, shifting and dense. A festival of attempts, because it is from attempts that aesthetic shocks emerge.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In developing the programme for this edition, the last under our co-direction, we have embraced the freedom that the festival has always exercised over the past thirty years: the freedom to follow an unconventional path. For instance, when an artist asks us whether they can present a work that is ‘falling apart’, our answer is: yes, of course. By following a new group of artists each year, wherever they might lead us, Les Urbaines traces a continuous movement in which the impermanence and ephemerality of each edition are fully embraced.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But turning 30 also means allowing ourselves a slight departure from the principle of the here and now: beyond the usual format, an artwork will remain, at least for a while, beyond this edition. This work is outdoors, as are several of the performances in this year's programme. Our 30th anniversary has served as a pretext to spill beyond the festival's usual venues and into the city's streets. Moving from one place to another, across the city, diverging, converging and wandering. The festival seeks to displace us. To make us see the city beyond the vision of those who administer it. Spotlighting the city’s blind spots. &nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Turning 30 in 2026: will the festival live on for another 30 years?\u003Cbr>People come and go, but the spirit and the format remain; long live Les Urbaines :)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yasemin Imre and Samuel Antoine\u003C\u002Fp>",{"url":35,"width":36,"height":37,"displayHeight":38},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fpages\u002Feditorial\u002F2bb7602fc9-1793990754\u002Ffooters_editorial.svg",480,77,0,{"en":40,"fr":41},{"title":23,"uri":22},{"title":23,"uri":22},1794515775903]
