Périscope
Venue

Project

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.

Concerts & Cultural events

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.

Cultural Engineering

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.

Let’s do this together

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.

You can follow and read more about our projects in our Culture Together topic.

Networks

The Periscope draws on the energy of its community and its local network to make contact with actors on the regional, national, European and international scene in order to contribute beyond its walls to the dynamism of innovative music. Thus, projects from various horizons are welcomed at Périscope as well as projects developed in other territories.
