A bridge made of paper
A personal account of life in Ukraine during a barbaric war – with selected documentaries from Ukrainian literature, art and film.

Verena Nolte, literary scholar, author, founder and director of the initiative „A Bridge of Paper“ in conversation with the journalist, screenwriter, director and cultural organiser Jean Marc Terrasse.

Château d’Orion
from 11.00h
A Sunday in the countryside
Vive la convivalité I Long live conviviality
All Franco-German festival participants, committed people and guests from near and far are invited to spend a day together at the Château d’Orion, discover works of art, meet the artists and engage in dialogue.
À table! – is a socially and ecologically sustainable joint project). A „mobile“ table installation made from local waste wood and materials will be created for the festival. Customised ceramic and wooden pieces will enrich our table setting.
In the barn (grange)
Street artist and painter Yann Chatelin, who lives in Béarn, and Franco-German photographer Alexandre Dupeyron present a dialogue between their two groups of works that reflect our environment and society.
How does the earth sound, how time – and how our environment?
A sound installation
The border crosser and multimedia artist Michal Kindernay explores flora and fauna between the Pyrenees and Orion. He records noises and sounds from nature and transforms them into an atmospheric composition. In the interior of the small church in Orion, Kindernay turns us into acoustic witnesses to a biodiversity that enriches and accompanies us on so many levels, but whose diversity is increasingly being lost.

An olfactory portrait of the Béarn des Gaves region
The young artist Eduardo Palomares has been researching for years in various countries how water, weather and minerals change the soil in a process-like manner. For the festival, he is developing small ceramic figures and various fragrances from herbs, wine, sea, salts and the earth, which he collects on his hikes in Sauveterre, Orion and the Atlantic.

The air we breathe
Installation and performance in Orion
As a researcher, architect, activist and educator, Adam Hudec explores the topic of our air across borders. His self-developed Dustsfree Chambers are an inflatable, multi-part work of art that is powered by two fans. Thanks to nanofilters, the air inside is free of dust and fine particles. Hudec will use his balloon-like „laboratory“ as a basis for discussions and encounters. The central question is: how can we do justice to our ecological, social, political and ethical concerns? In collaboration with the environmental activist Sylvain Chevallier. The award-winning dancer Gabriele Aime will transform the Dustsfree-Chamber into a stage for his performance.

Approx. 15.00h
A discussion
What can an art and culture festival contribute to the defence of our earth and time?
What do we expect from art? Is the influence of artists to see the world differently and to broaden our view underestimated or overestimated? And how do the organisers, the artists themselves, see their role in society? A conversation with Jean-Marc Terrasse about the impact of artistic work in the context of social transformation and ecological and economic sustainability.
Au lavoir
Artist Manuela Hartel and accordionist Jesus Aured welcome us to the „lavoir“ in the grove of the Château d’Orion. The almost overgrown washing area becomes the setting for a choreographic improvisation.
Closing of the festival
A multimedia performance
The performance, a dialogue between painting, photography and music, questions us as humanity. At a time when handwriting, once a favoured means of appropriating language, seems to be disappearing, Yann Chatelin explores the gestural power of calligraphy live. At the same time, Alexandre Dupeyron takes us on a photographic journey that explores our relationship with life.
This ecosophical manifesto is translated into sound by Thomas Julienne on double bass and L’être Lambda on electric guitar. Together they improvise an immersive music, a subtle echo of the visual worlds created by Yann Chatelin and Alexandre Dupeyron.
** The event is organised
with the aim of „zero waste“, food and drinks come from regional producers.
