Student Night

Solace performance

Student Night is back on Thursday, October 9, in Montbéliard and Audincourt!

The must-attend event of the new academic year: a festive cultural evening to (re)discover the treasures of the local area in a unique atmosphere.
The concept: Visit 5 major cultural venues, get 1 bracelet at each. 3 bracelets = 1 free concert pass at Le Moloco.

At Le 19, enjoy the performance Solace by Maeva Totolehibe, artist featured in the Zones of (non)being exhibition and winner of the Pôle Position #4 initiative with Victor Comby.
A sound installation highlighted by a hybrid architecture blending an abandoned shelter, a burned chapel, and a child’s hut. Solace etymologically evokes the neologism solastalgia — the grief for a lost refuge, homesickness without exile, a nostalgia for the future.

Over a week, children aged 7 to 12 will explore countless ways of portraying themselves and others.
An inner voyage to challenge appearances and learn to see differently!

✱ Tuesday, October 21 to Friday, October 24, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM
✱ Visual arts workshop for ages 7–12
✱ €30 for all four afternoons, reservation at 03.81.94.13.47 or mediation@le19crac.com

The talk will be followed by a Q&A with the audience and a book signing session with the two guests.

La Box de Noël #10

Christmas box

As every year, Le 19, Crac launches a call for projects open to students and graduates of art schools in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté and Grand Est regions, as well as students from the Belfort-Montbéliard urban area. This initiative supports emerging artists by offering the opportunity to produce an original work that takes over the Box — a high-up showcase within the art center — and is also part of the City of Montbéliard’s Lumières de Noël trail.

For the third consecutive year, the opening of the Christmas Box is also an opportunity to join forces with local partners to offer a friendly and multidisciplinary event! Following the inauguration of this 10th Christmas Box, the prize ceremony for the 30th-anniversary contest Art Trail in Shop Windows will take place, in partnership with Esprit Commerces Nord-Doubs. The winner will receive a work by an artist who has marked the history of Le 19, produced in collaboration with the Hérilab of Héricourt’s media library.
To close the evening and in resonance with the exhibition Zones of (non)being, Le 19 also welcomes “Novices, Mutable Trajectories”, a performance by the Kif Dance company.
At the heart of the stage, a blurred, unidentified body questions norms, prejudices, and preconceptions. In search of its identity, it absorbs surrounding images to arrive at a unique existence in the world — far from categorizations and stereotypes…

The Christmas Box exhibition will be visible from December 6, 2025, to January 4, 2026, from the square outside Le 19, Crac, day and night!

✱ Friday, December 5, 2025, from 6:30 PM
