Cerise Rochet | Tuesday, January 25, 2022

While a deliberation of the municipal council on Monday evening consisted of a vote on the authorization of installment payments on subsidies to associations, the opposition questioned at length the elected official in charge of culture, Marc Chassaubéné , regarding its decision to withdraw the 54,000 euros in subsidies usually granted by the City to the Arcomik humor festival. The evocation of the subject by Isabelle Dumestre and Pierrick Courbon, of the group Saint-Etienne Demain au Conseil, follows the article published last Wednesday in the Canard Enchaîné, directly questioning the assistant to Culture. Arms between the two parties, the debate will have been the opportunity to learn that the GSM association led by Simon Javelle and Grégory Cometti, which made a first request for subsidies for the organization of another humor festival in Saint-Etienne finally gave up, at least temporarily, presenting neither a date nor a schedule. Not having these elements, the allocation committee decided to

Neighbourhood |The "French Capital of Culture" year was launched in Villeurbanne, in the presence of Roselyne Bachelot. Beyond a few event markers, it is especially on the side of permanent devices that we must look at, like the minimixes, these small cultural centers welded within schools.

Sebastien Broquet | Tuesday, November 30, 1999

It is in orbit, this special year of Villeurbanne, the one in which it became the very first French Capital of Culture this new label initiated by the Ministry of Culture which chose the city of the solid emblem of decentralization, the Théâtre National Populaire, to be its first incarnation. Roselyne Bachelot, the appointed minister, came in person to launch the festivities on Friday January 7, barely disturbed by angry intermittent workers. But past the party favors we were deprived of a week earlier, what do we have left to observe during this year? Mayor Cédric Van Styvendael and his teams had tried for this candidacy by integrating into their file several elements already conceptualized and imagined for their electoral campaign program, like a digital festival (now the IrRéels) and especially minimixes, veritable cultural embassies arranged within schools, which, from an idea to be developed over the course of the mandate, have become a key element of this cultural year (Anne Hidalgo, socialist candidate for the presidency of the country, visited one on Friday 14

“Thief! Thief ! To the killer! To the murderer! Justice, just Heaven! I'm lost, I'm murdered, they cut my throat, they stole my money! » Harpagon, whose centers of interest boil down to the protection of a casket full of gold crowns, tries both to marry his daughter by force to old Anselme, and to marry the conquest of his son, much younger than him. For his arrival at the direction of the Comédie de Saint-Etienne, Benoît Lambert presents his Miser, in the form of a horrifying and funny tale, inspired by the character of Harpagon himself, perfectly interpreted by Emmanuel Vérité.

15 days that we are well seated, a month and a half that we have no longer the right to danceInevitably, at some point, we will have to stretch a little. That's good (and it gives a little breath of fresh air just thinking about it): the beautiful days of 2022 are already shaping up to be full of high knee lifts and small hops. In Saint-Chamond, the La Rue des Artistes team has just unveiled the program for its 25th edition, all in catchy rhythms. Come on, a little more patience, the track is not very far away. Friday, June 17, the festivities will start with a stage shared between the French-reggae-always-acclaimed-of Danakil, and the warm voice on hypnotic beats of Karimouche .

We would be tempted to believe, even to say, that we know the story by heart And yet, we could well learn a little more. NTM is the story of a group of friends who took over the hip-hop movement that had just arrived in France, to make it their means of expression. With Suprêmes, Audrey Estrougo stages the sensational beginnings of French rap, embodied by the legendary duo formed by Joey Starr and Kool Shen. Released in December, the film arrives on the screens of Méliès during two screenings, one of which, in Saint-François, will be followed by an open mic with DJ FAB from the Les Bugnes collective. So, if you think you have a good flow Go! Suprêmes + open rap scene (open mic), Wednesday January 19 at 5:30 p.m. at the Méliès Saint-François in Saint-Etienne, single screening on Tuesday January 25 at 9 p.m. at the Méliès Jean-Jaurès.

It's cool, to have accepted our request for an interview, it seems that you dont like itYes its true, I think I suck at interviews. My thing is to make jokes, not to answer questions: suddenly, I'm not necessarily very comfortableAre you all right? The period is a little tense, but we imagine that you are happy to finally be able to be on stage with your show Pfff? Yes, I am really happy about that, especially since we had a hard time. I started my show in March 2020 And I also stopped it in March 2020, suddenly. We are on the 5th cover, there it seems to go, but we hope very much that it will hold. With this show, you have two objectives: to leave richer, and that people leave less stupid. Has it worked so far? On the first objective, it's going well, I leave indeed a little richer each time. On the second, it is more complicated on the other hand, because the show still contains a lot of bullshit! More seriously, this story is linked to the fact that I chose a formula

Sequence | Les Ambassadeurs du Méliès are high school students who love cinema, who see the latest theatrical releases, and who share their favourite. Today, Elise and Noah talk to us about their "Nugget" of the month, The chef, the latest feature film by Philip Barantini, with Stephen Graham in the title role.

The editorial staff | Thursday January 6, 2022

For Elise, ambassador of the Simone Weil high school: "A sublime work" It is Christmas time, in the kitchen of a great chef in decline. In the audience of the dark room, the pressure rises and becomes unbearable, while delicious scents escape from the screen. Opening the doors, it is the beginning of the service, with, on the menu, the worst and the best of the human race. The Chef is a sublime work shot in a single sequence shot, which gives this particular impression of living the action, and highlights the environment and all the characters: they are no longer actors, they truly ARE those beings that we see evolving on the screen. The film manages to capture those moments in their lives where things get stuck, after which nothing works… And we challenge you not to appreciate them, because they are so imperfect that it is endearing. For Noah, Fauriel high school ambassador: “A storm of contradictory feelings” The chef, a restaurant, a team, a chef and a single sequence shot! If Philip Barantini's new film is a great technical feat, both for the actors and

At the beginning, Tony is in charge of preparing and delivering the coffees. And then, quite quickly, we put it in front of a console. And that, unlike math or geo is really made for him. Because, without realizing it, Tony spent his entire childhood training his hearing to recognize the beautiful notes, and the harmonies that work.

Cerise Rochet | Monday, January 3, 2022

Known for his light comedies during the 1930s, director Georges Stevens, documentary filmmaker for the American Army during the Second World War, will forever be marked by the horror discovered in the extermination camps. In 1959, he adapted The Diary of Anne Frank for the cinema, while the book has already sold millions of copies around the world. Sublime in its ability to reflect the feeling of confinement of the characters in their hiding place, at the same time as their anguish and the strong ties that unite them, this film proves to be a very faithful transcription on the screen of the teenager's work. To see or see again at the beginning of January in Saint-Etienne. Le Journal d'Anne Frank, by George Stevens on January 6 from 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the cinematheque in Saint-Etienne.

“Dusting off the image of the museum”? Surely not. Because a museum is never dusty. It is a place that lives, teems, in which people work and visitors pass, iron, discover, are interested, learn. Like other structures, however, the Museum of Art and Industry of Saint-Etienne must move forward, to stick to its time, even if its collections are linked to the past. “Over the past 20 years, our audience has changed a lot,” says director Marie-Caroline Janand. It is today in the image of a world which has changed economically, which is attached to the digital universe, and in which people are much more mobile than before. Our desire is therefore to adapt to this world”.An immersive roomIn this adaptation, the museum has already crossed a first

The constellation Pegasus is home to a group of galaxies called the Stephan Quintet (discovered by French astronomer Edouard Stephan in 1878). Of these five galaxies, four are actually close to each other and show signs of interaction. The deformations and long filaments of stars visible in this image from the Hubble Space Telescope are due to the gravitational tidal forces that are exerted. These four galaxies are about 300 million light-years apart. The fifth, top left, bluish in color, is in the foreground, just 40 million light-years from Earth!

"Never has the listener had so much choice among artistic offerings, never has music been so accessible as it is now, and yet, never has there been so much people listening to the same thing at the same time". This observation, Cyril Balthazard of the label Le Cri du Charbon makes him a bit bitter, tired no doubt, of having to constantly fight to arouse the curiosity of the public. Because, even if the work in the field carried out by independent actors allows certain artists to release records, to sell some of them and therefore to be able to perform live and earn their crust, to carve out a small place for themselves in an industry of the disc dominated by the few big mainstream artists broadcast on the radio is still a challenge. “We receive a lot of requests, and with us too, the places are expensive, continues Cyril. The context of the job remains extremely difficult, we cannot afford the slightest thorn in our side. “There is no miracle recipe, indeed: the road is long and tedious, and everyone must be really prepared for it. Because he can't afford the slightest thorn in his side either.

In Rome, the Emperor Claudius died. Rather than his son Britannicus, it was Nero, the son of his last wife Agrippina, who succeeded him on the throne. And, as if stealing power from his fake brother wasn't enough, Nero will also steal his lover... Like what, blended families aren't always easy! By opposing two enemy brothers, one of whom is fair, sincere but deeply naive and the other dishonest to the point of gradually falling into tyranny and sadism, Racine questions the emergence of evil in the exercise of power, and above all... its result.Britannicus by Racine, by the company Parole en Acte, from January 9 to 4 at the Théâtre du Verso in Saint-Etienne, on January 21 at the Echappé de Sorbiers and on May 4 at the Pénitents in Montbrison

Absolutely unpredictable and vaguely waterproof, the Saint-Etienne MUR continues to surprise passers-by from the first Saturday of each month, when at the end of the collage session a new work is revealed.

Another great opportunity to visit TAG: the gallery is hosting a series of recent works by Catherine Haro. The painter presents around fifteen oils, including three large formats, most of which have never been seen before. Each canvas tells a story in itself, placing female characters in an interior empty of decor. Fragile beings struggling to find their place, entangled in situations sometimes bordering on the grotesque. Imbued with a singular universe where a grating confusion reigns, Catherine Haro's paintings are so many small theaters of everyday life that depict individuals grappling with their doubts and fears, wrapped up in costumes that are too big for them.Catherine Haro , from January 6 to 28 at the TAG gallery in Saint-Étienne

A label. Here is the result of several months of confinement and hard work. The year 2020 will have been a blank year for Poto Feu, but it will still have borne fruit. They are 5 artists to have embarked on the adventure: Dromabear, LCDJ, Anspect, VLB & Curtis. Already affiliated with the Loire collective, this fine team has decided to extend the project to that of an open label with techno, house, electro, trap and other world music colors. Poto Feu is clear about its intentions: every artistic sensibility can find its place there. "We are going to try to make it our strength, even if it is not obvious" affirms Florian Noir, the co-founder of the label. “Especially in electronic music, the labels are a bit mono-genres () there are never many surprises”. In March, the label will release a compilation of these artists. And, while waiting for this little nugget, the collective has found a good way to console the impatient, releasing a few weeks ago the digital EP, 00A, on which VLB offers an effective and catchy remix by Turkish artist Yasar Akpence. . To accompany it, LCDJ also presents a rem

Through the city | After many months of reflection, meetings, consultations, the creation of a third place at the site of the former Nouveau Théâtre Beaulieu has now been confirmed. While a number of questions still remain unanswered, we know more about the activities that this new equipment will accommodate, which could enter service within three years.

Cerise Rochet | Monday, January 3, 2022

It was June 2017. Ravaged by flames, the Nouveau Théâtre Beaulieu, a cultural facility in the south-east districts of Saint-Etienne which then housed the MJC of the same name, was almost completely destroyed. Since then, the visits of the political leaders have followed one another, the consultations have followed one another at the same time as the reflections on the reconstruction of the building and its future activities. And then, weighed down by fragile finances and the removal of a subsidy, the MJC entity had to resolve to put the key under the door. A page had thus been turned, leaving a blank page to fill with good ideas likely to resonate with the needs of the neighborhood. The inhabitants involved Quite unclear for many months, the project finally took shape. Co-constructed with the inhabitants, thanks to workshops and multiple public meetings, it was finally decided

After the after parties, the evening itself. Following government decisions at the start of the week, nightclubs were forced to close their doors this Friday morning, in an attempt to curb the spread of the virus. As a result, other places that usually benefit from a late closing are also impacted: night bars, and places broadcasting live music. In Saint-Etienne, the F2 and Le Clapier thus had to resolve to cancel, among other things, the two after parties organized within their walls for the 1001bass evening, which were to be held this Saturday evening / Sunday morning. As for the evening in question It too has just been cancelled. Organized at Le Fil by various partners, it was supposed to take place on Saturday evening from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. In the current context, and despite the weeks of investment that were necessary to prepare such an event, the managers of the room believe that the conditions to date are not in place to ensure its smooth running. , the latter have indicated that they will automatically refund all those who have purchased their tickets on the

We are not going to fall into fatalism and despair. Of course, it will be hard to see the doors of Disorder closing again.

The classics After a year of scarcity, the little white Christmas huts have returned to their village, on the Place de lHôtel-de-Ville. Inside, fairground stallholders offer as usual something to do with a few little gifts or little extra decorations, but above all something to fill up your stomach, with sweets and hot drinks, oysters, cheese, sauce, sandwiches and all the rest ( to eat and drink AFTER the Ferris wheel ride). On the Dorian side, there is Santa Claus workshop, four animated display cases, and a mailbox to drop off a list for the old bearded man. On the Jean-Jaurès side, we put on our skates for two or three laps of the slopes (or two or three gadins), before a toboggan run, a ride on the little train or on the merry-go-round.Every day until January 2The showsA little swing, jazz or rock?

Alain Koenig | Monday, January 3, 2022

Created in 1868 on a libretto by the famous duo Barbier and Carré, Hamlet by Ambroise Thomas contributes, with Mignon, to perpetuate the posterity of this former Prix de Rome. Shunned by French musicologists, the work delights fans of 19th century French “grand opera”. Ambroise Thomas never claimed to revolutionize the history of music, but rather to seduce his audience. Is this the origin of the misunderstanding with the faculty? His Hamlet, however, remains faithful to the Shakespearian spirit and immediately met with great success. Originally written for tenor, the title role was resized to the dimensions of the baritone Jean-Baptiste Faure, darling of 19th century opera. The result is an opera that reserves a few moments of grace, like the Hamlet-Ophelia duo, soprano with coloratura accents. Hailed in 1868 as the most beautiful opera since Meyerbeer or Halévy, the trail of gunpowder will soon go around the musical microcosm. She will ensure Ambroise Thomas the succession of Auber, at the head of the Paris Conservatory. Far from the grumpy, the piece today fascinates by its universality, and the music of Thomas, directed by the very t

Wonderful local cornucopia, where musical programs are tiled. Handel is back, going up the Thames estuary to reach the lands of the Loire. The idea of ​​celebrating the most British of Germans will have taken the time to mature in the spirit of the Rencontres Musicales en Loire. Plentiful, this eighth edition revisits the versatility of the great genius. The voices first. Handel was the composer of the "diva" and "divi" of the 18th century. A role written by Handel in Covent Garden, the Royal Academy where the King's Theater ensured the career of the performer, paving the way for the "star system" of contemporary opera. He did not hire Farinelli, proving that a genius is not always infallible. The Arias concert for castrato voice should enlighten us on this facet of the maestro. If he loved the voices, Handel was above all an instrumentalist of genius, the keyboards having no secrets for him: three concerts

Cerise Rochet | Tuesday 30 November 2021

Extraordinary, and at the same time totally coherent. Recently received, the donation of the couple of Parisian gallery owners and collectors Liliane and Michel Durand-Dessert to the MAMC+ is one that can be explained quite logically...

Urban Guide | Scramble to cut with a mincer, freezing cold especially if you have forgotten your gloves, but lights and Christmas carols on every street corner: perfect atmosphere to go and have a glass of mulled wine. Come on, we'll take you (to the wind).

Cerise Rochet | Tuesday 30 November 2021

To start this Saint-Etienne itinerary, go to the Christmas market and its traditional (even kitsch) side, which we like to love at this time of year. Jingle Bells and Douces Nuits coming out of transistor radios, waffles or raclette sandwiches, a Ferris wheel, a sled and shiny paper... A whole atmosphere that wouldn't be the same without a pit stop to recharge your batteries. Served in paper cups, the mulled wine here is generally not the best in the world, can even be a bit lukewarm depending on whether you arrive at the beginning or the end of the pot... But still presents the advantage of sticking perfectly to the frame. Asset number 2: the pop-up stalls on Place Jean-Jaurès and Place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville offer a choice of white, red or rosé mulled wine. Well, to tell you the truth, we have never really felt the difference in taste, but it is perhaps

To be captain of the Petit-Bulletin vessel, you need: responsiveness, seriousness, a bit of nerve, a telephone that works well because it rings all the time and then, also, a strong right arm and effective. In the office, Baptiste Rollet is one of those captains. As director of publication, he is responsible for the content and production of the newspaper, from the editorial meeting until its arrival in the displays four weeks later. He coordinates the teams, consults them, gives them directives: never orders, always suggestions potentially subject to discussion. Without a pair of binoculars or a crystal ball, his role involves succeeding in seeing far, in a digitalized media ocean that is sometimes calm and tranquil, often agitated, always in motion. How to stay the course in the face of big waves, and go at cruising speed when everything becomes (a little) peaceful again? No doubt, by knowing well the strengths and weaknesses of his boat and his sailors, to consider different routes, and, finally, to choose the right paths. And, since Le Petit Bulletin is also a company, in the office, it is also questioned

Our regions have talent! Just look at the number of groups from Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes that perform here, and Brume is one of them. Originally from Lyon, the duo is made up of Thibaud, who oscillates between his bass synth, his machines, his guitar and the hearts, and Maxime, who can be found behind the sampled drums, also providing lead voice and synth . Two real Swiss Army knives who master several instruments on stage, offering New Wave electro performances, accompanied by audio tracks and interactive pre-recorded parts. What differentiates them?

SCREENS | Les Ambassadeurs du Méliès are high school students who love cinema, who see the latest theatrical releases, and who share their favourite. Today, Amélie and Soheil are talking to us about their "Nugget" of the month, Les Magnétiques, the first feature film by Vincent Maël Cardona.

The editorial staff | Monday, November 15, 2021

For Soheil, Ambassador of the Saint-Paul high school: "An evocative title, a film that will please everyone"An evocative title for Les Magnétiques, which refers to the radio but also to the cinema. Brittany, during the 1980s. Philippe and Jérôme, two brothers linked by a common passion for the airwaves, run a clandestine radio station. The first is the "sound engineer" of the second, his eldest, a presenter. Everything comes to an abrupt end when the two brothers are called up for military service. Love for an immature brother, talent and devouring passion for the radio: the film Les Magnétiques will please everyone, with a pleasant return to adolescence for some. For Amélie, Ambassador of the Jean Monnet high school: "a bittersweet sensation" Les Magnétiques leaves a bittersweet sensation, inspired by the gray and fragmented life of the main character, despite everything punctuated by more vivid moments, where passion pierces him. The images in this film can be surprising, often quite cold, quite dull, but regularly penetrated by flashes of color that reflect the atmosphere of the 80s.

By ear, Stéphanois recognize each other, Parisians are interested. On arrival, everyone wants an extra note, and the deal is done: Raphaël and Théo set sail, not for Brazil like Bernard, but for the capital, from where they manage to expand their their projects. Faces with dark eyes framed by curly hair that we hold back. A music that is difficult to classify, mixing pop, electro, slam, reflecting a way of listening so 21st century: digital, inexhaustible, random, accessible, rich and colorful. Texts that discuss the darkness of the feelings of a youth who would like to still dreaming, but who has to invent other plans -and destinies - than those of the older ones for that. For good, Terrenoire is launched. Pay for the Inrocks, Konbini, France Inter and Libé. Last year, the duo released their first album, Les Forces Contraires
