The Congés Annulés Family Day? That’s our shameless attempt to convert kids from their earliest age to the joys of festivals and late afternoons spent outdoors listening to some very fine tracks. But here, really, it’s the whole family that’ll be tapping their feet to the beat and getting their hands creatively busy. You’re never too young (or too old!) to have a blast at a festival!

>17:00 – 21:00 : Paper-Gif – Summer
For all / location: Foyer Rotonde 2 / non-stop
Maxime Charasson re-envisions vinyl to create phonotropes, i.e. analogue animations that come to life through the record’s rotation and the stroboscopic effect. In Paper-Gif – Summer, he scales up the concept with a monumental two-meter-diameter phonotrope that transforms the animation into an immersive, hypnotic experience.
This piece, which bridges optical illusion, graphic art, and an homage to the beginnings of cinema, investigates the connection between image, rhythm, and object, providing a playful and poetic exploration of how we perceive.
Maxime Charasson is a graphic designer and illustrator who is passionate about moving objects and artisanal animation techniques. Drawing on his graphic design background, his personal projects explore the links between volume, illusion, and visual narrative.
