Festival of the Imagination
The Festival of the Imagination, devoted to the music and cultural styles of peoples across the globe, is held at Paris' Maison des Cultures du Monde.
The event defines its programming policy in terms of exploration, discovery and revelation, and hopes to keep on arousing the spectator's curiosity. Grand masters of numerous traditions perform side-by-side with young artists, who attempt to enrich and renew what are sometimes very old art forms.
Past programmes have included Iranian interpretations of the poetry of Mevlana Rumi, choral music from the Syrian Orthodox Church, Japanese puppetry from Sado Island, dance music from Cape Verde, folk music from the Hmong in the Golden Triangle (Thailand/Burma/Laos) and many other unexpected offerings. Alongside the performances, lectures and round table discussions on cultural themes take place, with the aim of enlarging our vision of the world.
Please visit the festival website for full details of the programme.
