The Périscope is a place dedicated to innovative music. As a concert hall, club, residence and rehearsal space and production office, its spaces invite all stages of artistic creation and promote proximity between musicians, audiences and professionals in the sector. Active in the field of jazz and improvised music, Périscope aims to offer a spontaneous experience at the heart of hybrid musical aesthetics and the creative process of musicians.

With more than 150 events throughout the year, the Periscope’s programming invites numerous audiences to experience a variety of musical experiences on a daily basis, depending on their intentions: on the intimate club stage, at the bar counter, or in front of the main stage. This is how local or international proposals, avant-garde or popular projects are articulated in a place dedicated to the coexistence of all these typologies. Beyond the concerts, there are also screenings, meetings, workshops and conferences that are organized in the framework of our cultural café, which invites the public to cultivate and grasp the issues of society.

Since the start of the new school year, Périscope has been offering Les Ateliers Lobster, a support program for people with projects in contemporary music living in the former Rhône-Alpes region. Free of charge, upon registration, these workshops cover various areas of expertise related to project management (communication / accounting / administration / international development / governance of structures…).

Since 2016, the Periscope has been investing in the work of supporting structures and the logic of collaboration between the actors. Since 2016, it has been carrying out its Lobster project, a cultural engineering cluster consisting of a production office, a cycle of support workshops and a network of skills specialized in the field of contemporary music. This component of activities comes to life in workshop spaces (meeting and training rooms) as well as convivial spaces that encourage exchange, collaboration and communication between producers, touring companies, labels and artists.

The Periscope is driving many projects with a rich variety of audiences, artists and professionals. These collaborations invite to form a real community around creation and to carry a system of solidary, ethical and responsible values.

We claim a culture that is open, inclusive and accessible to all. In this respect, we are vigilant about our reception conditions, we implement projects that generate creations and encounters for real cultural interactions and make our community aware of its direct impact on social issues.
