Unusual shows, magical scenography, festive banquet... See you on September 20 for a magical experience at La Nuit de la Culture - the event that makes Esch's heart beat a little faster and stronger than usual 💘 And we can't wait to be there!

Esch-sur-Alzette, one night in September. 
The streets light up, the squares come alive, and for a few hours, the city is transformed into an open-air stage, where quirky and thought-provoking installations pop up in unexpected places. A tale played out at the edge of the forest, sweet words hanging from the branches, secret booths whispering stories to you... 🥹

ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE

Nuit de la Culture is a great love story between a city, its inhabitants, and the artists who bring it to life. Staged by the Métalu à Chahuter company, this edition is a declaration of love in all its forms: the love of friends, the love of family, crazy love... 

Because deep down, perhaps that's what Vertige de l'Amour is all about: that little thrill you feel when you share something unique with others 🫶🏻

A MAGICAL SETTING 

For this special occasion, the Clair-Chêne neighborhood is transformed into a fairytale setting. The star of the evening: the Magic Mirror. A marquee straight out of the Roaring Twenties, with its wooden structure, beveled mirrors, and warm atmosphere reminiscent of balls of yesteryear. An atmosphere that is both intimate and festive, perfect for hosting shows that are sure to make your heart skip a beat 💌

And that's not all! The night also takes over the Escher Kafé, the Kamellebuttek, the Club Sculpture, and the Place du Brill... all familiar places reinvented for a magical night 🌝

📅 When? Saturday, September 20, from 5 pm to 1 am
📍Where? Clair-Chêne district, Esch-sur-Alzette
🎟️ How much? Completely free
🎭 Who is it for? The curious, lovers, families, night owls, and seekers of unique moments

Now that you have all the information, it's time for the best part: the program 🌟 And hold on tight, because it's going to take you on an emotional roller coaster ride!

Installations, workshops, immersive experiences, exhibitions, live shows, music, theater, dance, visual and digital arts... In short, you get the picture, there's something for everyone!

But don't leave too quickly, as usual we want to give you a small selection of what we ABSOLUTELY want to see: 

BARBARA'S BANQUET 

It's impossible to talk about this event without mentioning Barbara, the little rapillone 🐭🦋 born from the imagination of writer Tullio Forgiarini. Along with her two companions, Félix and Giacomo, she invites you to share a festive banquet in the heart of the woods 🍽️

📍Clair-Chêne neighborhood
📆 5:00 pm – 1:00 am

LOVE AND DIZZINESS AT THE END OF THE LINE

A forgotten phone booth comes back to life to whisper stories of love from yesterday and today. Four authors have rewritten and recorded these stories: listen to them and immerse yourself in the intimacy of the neighborhood... who knows, you might find a piece of your own story there 💛

📍Clair-Chêne Woods
 📆 5:00 pm – 1:00 am 

SMS DELIVERIES

Want to surprise someone with music? Choose a song, declare your love (or your humor), and let the versatile singer-delivery drivers take care of delivering your message... Like a bouquet of flowers, but with a twist 💐🛵

📍Place du Brill & Bois du Clair-Chêne
📆 11:00 am – 3:30 pm (Place du Brill) | 5:00 pm – 10:00 pm (Bois du Clair-Chêne)

THROUGH THE FOREST

Here, there are no classic fairy tales, but a young girl inspired by Snow White, a little confused and full of doubts. With your headphones on, follow her on a theatrical journey where the forest becomes a living, funny, and poignant tale, between childhood and big questions 👧🏻

📍Bois du Clair-Chêne
📆 5:45 pm – 6:15 pm | 7:15 pm – 7:45 pm

SLOW MARATHON

Fancy a slow dance in the woods? Between languid hits and forgotten songs, let the music guide you... but be careful, the rhythm could well get carried away and make you twirl faster than expected 🕺🏻

📍Bois du Clair-Chêne
📆 5:00 pm – 10:00 pm

The program is so awesome that we wanted to include everything... To discover the full feast of events, click on the pink button 👇🏻

So come as you are, with your curiosity and your desire to let yourself be carried away. Among the trees of Clair-Chêne, under the reflections of the Magic Mirror, around Barbara's banquet, you will discover Esch in a different light: more poetic, more joyful, more vibrant 🧚🏻‍♀️
