Under the Sign of the Stars
A second edition of the Lunar Evening, set under the sign of the stars lands on Porquerolles Island. The Villa Carmignac opens its doors on the last day of the full moon in July, and hosts performances indoors and in its gardens. On this occasion, the invited artists summon the goddesses of the night, from Nyx to the Zorya, from Ratri to Ix Chel, echoing the exhibition The Infinite Woman. Between drag performances, dance, and song, The Lunar Evening #2 extends the femininities that inhabit Villa Carmignac this season, and writes new nocturnal and festive myths, celebrating the night, the moon, and their limitless creative breath.
On the Program of this Lunar Evening
7:30pm: Brief and flamboyant appearance of Mami Watta the queer icon who plays with gender and feminine archetypes. At the heart of the museum, in the "Metamorphoses" room, Anna Chirescu and Grégoire Schaller shape a meeting intertwining immemorial times and anticipation of the future. As part of The Infinite Woman, they continue their transdisciplinary research.
The performance of Mami Watta in the "Dis(obedient) bodies" room is truly magical. This iconic Drag Queen from Drag Race France Season 2 transforms into a pop mermaid, a cyborg in armor, or a true water spirit, mesmerizing the audience with three "LE-GEN-DARY" lip syncs! As night descends upon the island of Porquerolles and the gardens of the Villa, Camélia Jordana graces the stage to delve into the mysteries of the moon, offering a unique and enchanting concert on the tennis court. Accompanied by Louise Dissous on choir and piano, this Toulon artist creates a dreamy moment under the pine trees, bathed in the silvery light of the summer moon. To close out this exquisite evening, Mami Watta returns to perform in the South Terrace Gardens at 11:30 pm. On the culinary front, the Lunar Evening offers two dining options by Chef Hugo Mancel: a snack bar and a restaurant showcasing summer and local cuisine.
