After the success of Lille 2004 Cultural Capital of Europe, now is the time to discover Lille3000. A new cultural event which will take place every two years, open to modernity and cultures, reaching out to artists, inhabitants and visitors. Traditions and innovations are at the heart of the event. Lille3000 transports the city on a voyage to India in 2006, then to Eastern Europe in 2008.
Our in-house Francophile - Sumedha Sood will be there for a week from 20th November. Her story and pics will be appearing here by the last week of November.
BOMBAYSERS DE LILLE
14 October 2006 to 14 January 2007
Lille in a sari... Come and experience lille3000!
Lille3000 - Bombaysers de Lille: a wonderful three-month extravaganza in which the city of Lille becomes Indian.
Lille is being adventurous once again! Bollywood posters, a transformed rambla, rickshaws in the streets, an organic city, a transformed urban landscape, Indian concerts, famous exhibitions, a station revisited, illuminations, a mix of incense and spices floating in the air – the magic of India comes to Lille in 2006!
Bombaysers de Lille (Love from Bombay and Lille)!!
The multiple facets of India - at the crossroads of art and modernity - represent the heart of the first edition of lille3000. We will be able to enjoy metamorphoses in the city, artists’ installations, exhibitions, cinema, performances and parades, tastes of Bangalore, Bombay (Mumbai), Brick Lane… and Finland.
Another recurrent theme of lille3000 is the avant-garde, with visions of the future interlinking with the Indian events. Examples include Les modernités recyclées, La Maison de l’Energie Vitale and the Futurotextiles exhibition, where innovation and technology come together in interaction with contemporary art.
