Event proposed by the Centre Musical Les Arcades de Faches-Thumesnil, on the occasion International Biodiversity Day. With the participation of the European Metropolis of Lille and within the framework of the Planète Fest 2026.
This musical show, permacultural and multidisciplinary, imagined by Gael Faure around the work of the writer Jean Giono, combines literary art with that of singing and contemporary dance.
This creation, designed to be performed in places not dedicated to it, outdoors on farms, among winegrowers, and in third places, aims to highlight the nourishing earth, local heritage and stakeholders and to support the roaring awakening of consciences to the ecological emergency. The songs and the voice of the craftsman-musician Gael Faure mingle with the peasant poetry of Jean Giono and are a tribute to the earth and to those who celebrate it by the strength of their arms.
