La Radio du bout de la nuit

Scénography : Camille Platevoet, Anthony Lille, Arnaud Daffos

The “Late-Night Radio” was created in 2009, as a result of the desire to open up an alternative space, parallel to the Nomadic Nights, as a forum for creativity and discussion. Open to improvisation and dialogue, its broadcasts are created live, working with guest artists from the festival. Hosted this year by Jean-Yves Jouannais and Le Chevalier de Rinchy, it will be broadcast on the local frequency of the FMR radio association, but also streamed and podcast on the Internet.

Conceived as an “old-fashioned” radio station, free of special effects and editing, it thrives on the tension of the live broadcast, making the most of the luxury of a rhythm that frees it from the usual constraints of the radio format. The radio is also, and above all, a forum where the public are welcome to come and meet and listen to the artists at the festival, but also to see impromptu performances. The Late-Night Radio can be listened to live on-site, on FM radio, or on a podcast from the Printemps de Septembre website. These complementary possibilities make it a unique entity, like another type of exhibition centring on the voice and sound in general.
