Rassemblant les multiples communautés qui composent la vie et la culture du Luxembourg, The Manifestation est un événement qui impliquera la participation de plus de 150 personnes. Allant au-delà de l’espace physique des institutions, The Manifestation rassemblera les performeurs et le public autour de la cérémonie, de l’art oratoire, de la danse, de la musique et de la nourriture, invitant chacun à participer. L’événement commencera devant le Grand Théâtre de la Ville de Luxembourg; la procession déambulera ensuite sur le Pont Rouge pour se terminer, après être passée par la Philharmonie, à l’extérieur du Mudam.

For the opening performance, local community members will gather around a group of ‘demonstrators’ outside the Grand Théâtre, where a reading by the artists, speeches and music will take place.

19:45 | Procession

Lemi Ponifasio and renowned Luxembourg artist and choreographer Elisabeth Schilling will conceive a procession across the bridge. Starting at the Red Bridge towards the Philharmonie, Weaving a Vegetal Web of Care is an immersive performance-promenade, during which participants will carry a delicate thread woven with local flowers and dried herbs.

20:30 | Music, poetry and food

Chorale Sainte Cécile Hostert

Kammerchor PortaVoci e.V.

Œuvres de Beach, Hensel, Jenkins, Mozart, Schumann, Williams et autres

At Place de l’Europe, a convivial event with music, poetry and food will take place featuring two choirs singing in response to readings by residents. All participants and the public will enjoy dishes prepared by a community kitchen.

22:30 | Final performance

Voices International

Carol Salgado violoncelle

Culminating at Mudam, the red bridge project will conclude with a performance by Lemi Ponifasio’s company MAU, alongside members of local communities and various local musical ensembles.

The final performance will act as a symbol of a renewed relationship between communities and their territory and its institutions, taking the form of a ritual – a way for all participants to reclaim the space.

In relation to the performance, a series of photographs, taken throughout the project by students of the Lycée des Arts et Métiers in Luxembourg, will be projected on the walls of the building.
