MES FRÈRES ET MOI
Film by Yohan MANCA - French version / Running time: 1h48
With Maël Rouin Berrandou, Judith Chemla, Dali Benssalah
The Cinéma Le Plaza, historical partner of the Nuits Lyriques summer festival, welcomes us for this evening around a film related to lyrical art and freely inspired by the play ”Pourquoi mes frères et moi on est partis” by Hédi Tillette de Clermont-Tonnerre.
Nour is 14 years old and lives in a working-class neighbourhood by the sea. He is about to spend a summer punctuated by his older brothers’ misadventures, his mother’s illness and community service. When he has to repaint a corridor in his school, he meets Sarah, an opera singer who runs a summer school. A meeting that will open new horizons for him…

PULSO – CABARET LATINO
by the Duo Frictions
with Sarah LAULAN, Viola
and
Rémy POULAKIS, Accordion and voice
Faithful to its desire to associate rurality, heritage and music, the Nuits Lyriques invites you to a unique and bucolic meeting in an unusual place, the Church of Esquerdes, in collaboration with the Association of Friends of Esquerdes.
Vibrate to the rhythm of the Frictions Duo’s pulse with its proposal of classical, Latin and mixed music, a mix of jazz and tango with a hint of Andalusian or Brazilian folklore. An invitation to bring bodies together, but also to tune hearts to the rhythm of the same Pulso!
A convivial atmosphere with, at the beginning of the evening, the concert, followed by a meal concocted by our friends from the Maison Arc-en-ciel.
As every year, the Nuits Lyriques Summer Festival offers you an offbeat repertoire that will allow the public, who are less familiar with opera, to discover this universe and to take a first step towards opera.
