Musical journey to Japan
At 9:30 p.m., still contemporary dance with the show Suit from the Ruée des Arts company, with a choreography by Hafid Sour. The desire to create Suit was born from encounters, from a reflection on social representations and the image of success that they send back to us. It will be a question of shaking up the codes by mixing the world of urban dance from the street and that of costume, by bringing together performance and poetry.
Finally, on Sunday July 7, a great musical journey to Japan with the great Orchestre d’harmonie de la Marine nationale, based in Toulon, and its 76 musicians is on offer.
It is one of the most prestigious musical formations of the French armies which will offer an exceptional concert paying homage to the land of the rising sun, from its most ancestral to its most modern culture.
