L'Espace des Arts reports record results
L'Espace des Arts closes its 2025-2026 season with a record-breaking performance and an exceptional attendance rate of 96%.
L’Espace des Arts closes a particularly successful 2025-2026 season.
This milestone edition confirms the public's enthusiasm for the diverse program offered by the Ville du Pradet. The results show impressive figures, testifying to a cultural dynamism firmly established in the region.
An undeniable popular success
In total, more than 2,500 spectators passed through the doors of the Espace des Arts this season, with an exceptional attendance rate of 96% and a solid core of 350 loyal subscribers.
The twelve shows offered, combining music, theater, humor, and dance, were regularly sold out, demonstrating the public's support for an eclectic and high-quality offering.
Among the highlights that set the pace for the year, we will remember the communicative energy of "Principles of Joy", the hard-hitting humor of Sellig, the poetry of Dick Annegarn's songs, the performance of Thomas Poitevin, or the sensitive creation of the company DB Motion. The intimate and spiritual concert by Natascha Rogers also captivated, as did the unique evening bringing together Nawal and Stella Yme, or the closing concert led by the voice of Marion Rampal.
Structuring events and partnerships
Beyond its regular programming, the city has successfully consolidated major events. The fourth edition of the Festival Lire au Pradet (FLAP) thus gathered nearly 2,000 people, confirming its root and importance in the local cultural landscape.
The partnership strategy has also borne fruit, with renewed collaborations with renowned festivals such as the Festival International des Musiques d’Écran, the Festival d’automne du Conservatoire TPM, and Musique à la Cour.
The association with Châteauvallon-Liberté, scène nationale, allowed 160 people to benefit from five cultural outings to discover other artistic offerings in the region.
Creation and youth at the heart of the project
The season was marked by the artistic residency of the collective l’Etreinte for its creation "Au Travers des planches", inspired by the comic strip "Retour à Tamioka". This residency resulted in several school performances and a highly appreciated general public screening during the FLAP 2026.
Artistic and cultural education remains a priority, with the welcoming of 62 classes to the Espace des Arts to attend shows or participate in workshops.
Tales, theater workshops, visits to the gallery, and screenings of the national program "École et Cinéma" completed this rich offering designed to awaken the curiosity of the young audience.
See you for the 2026-2027 season
Looking to the future, the Ville du Pradet is already inviting the public on Friday, September 18, 2026, from 7:00 p.m., for the presentation evening of the 2026-2027 cultural season.
The musical atmosphere will be provided by the duo Marie Armande, composed of Marie Amiel (vocals, cello, guitar) and Laura Marteau (vocals, ukuleles, banjo). Their universe, inspired by island traditions ranging from Reunion maloya to calypso, promises an intimate and warm moment, enhanced by the richness of their vocal and rhythmic harmonies.
