History talk on free people of colour, Departmental Archives, Nantes

Archives Départementales

The departmental archives of Loire-Atlantique, in the centre of Nantes, host a history lecture on a Thursday evening about the so-called free people of colour who lived in the city in the eighteenth century. Nantes was the main French slave-trading port, and the talk uses a royal declaration of 1777, which ordered a census of Black, mixed-race and other people of colour, as a way into the subject. Some of those counted were free, though how many is hard to establish. Starting from a handful of well-documented personal journeys, the speakers, a university lecturer in early modern history, Bernard Michon, and a master's student, Garance Niget, retrace what became of several of them. It is organised with a local archaeological and historical society and lasts one and a half hours. Entry is free, doors open at 17:45, seating is limited and latecomers may not be admitted. «Conférence histoire : Les « libres de couleur » à Nantes au XVIIIe siècle» Starts 18:00, ends about 19:30.

Old building restoration talk, Departmental Archives, Nantes

Archives départementales de Loire-Atlantique

On Tuesday evening 8 December the departmental archives of Loire-Atlantique on rue de Bouillé in Nantes host a talk about a charter of good practice for restoring old buildings in the city. The listing explains that a city's built heritage is the memory of its history, a richness to preserve, improve and pass on, and asks how to reconcile change with tradition and comfort with old stonework. The charter offers some keys to approach those challenges calmly, and the question it raises is who it is for and what it is for. The talk is led by Manuel Fernandez, vice-president of the association Nantes Renaissance. Entry is free, with contact details for the association given for questions. The language is French. It starts at 18:00 and finishes at 19:30, a good fit for anyone who loves old houses. «Une charte des bonnes pratiques de restauration du Bâti ancien à Nantes» Starts 18:00, ends about 19:30.

New Year's Eve show with cocktail, Théâtre du Cyclope, Nantes

Théâtre du Cyclope

On Thursday 31 December the Théâtre du Cyclope in Nantes opens its doors for a special New Year's Eve evening that promises more than a play: a moment of sharing. The formula combines a show, an aperitif and a cocktail. The show, Vivement qu'on meure, is an absurd yet touching comedy by and with Marox, who searches for the answer to where the dead go after the loss of her beloved goat, meeting an odd cast along the way, including a shaman, a Mexican switchboard operator and Frida Kahlo. It lasts about an hour and the theatre recommends it from age five. Tickets range from 10.50 to 15 euros, and the price here is the top figure. The announcement is in French. The first performance begins at 18:00 and ends at about 19:00, with a second one at 20:00. «Vivement qu'on meure (Soirée du réveillon)» Starts 18:00, ends about 19:00.

Hors-jeu, a solo play on football, Théâtre de Jeanne, Nantes

On Tuesday 2 March 2027 the Théâtre de Jeanne, at 5 rue des Salorges in Nantes, presents the solo play Hors-jeu, about the hidden side of football. It is written by Julien Sigalas, performed by Jean Goltier and directed by Manon Giraudon-Nicolaï. The listing asks whether it is possible to have a career in football while being gay, and follows Chriss, a player of exceptional talent who has to blend into a conventional heterosexuality to keep playing. Along the way he meets a gallery of characters, some funny and some serious, in a mix of humour, sport and a search for identity. The listing says the show reveals a world where traditions and homophobia are common, and calls it funny and tender. The minimum age is 14. Tickets cost 14 to 22 euros, and the lowest is used here.

On Thursday 18 March the Musée d'arts de Nantes holds a one-hour lecture in its series of rebound talks, given by Adeline Collange-Perugi, the curator in charge of old art. The subject is the museum-school created by the Cacault brothers. Their collection, bought in 1810, is the founding core of the museum's old-master holdings, from Italian primitives to the eighteenth century. In their plan for a universal and educational museum at Clisson, copies of great masters such as Raphael, Leonardo and Veronese played a basic part in training artists. The lecture is linked to the exhibition event called Le musée recopié. Entry is free, no reservation is needed, and seats are given on a first-come basis until the room is full. The talk is in French, starts at 19:15 and ends about 20:15, a good evening for art lovers on their own. «Le musée-école des frères Cacault & l'art de la copie» Starts 19:15, ends about 20:15.

Free chamber music surprise programme, Nantes conservatoire

Conservatoire de Nantes

On Thursday 15 April the Conservatoire de Nantes on Rue Gaëtan Rondeau presents a free chamber music concert whose programme is a surprise. Each year the conservatoire opens its stage to advanced students who are reaching the end of their studies, after they present their chamber music programme to a jury. The contents are announced only two days before the concert, because the idea is a programme sketched on the spot by the jury that came to hear these students, some of whom are heading towards a professional career. The concert lasts one hour and belongs to the conservatoire's season. It is free, but the listing asks for a reservation through the online ticket office. The text is in French. It is a pleasant, low-cost way to spend a spring evening with live classical music. It starts at 19:00 and ends about 20:00. «Musique de chambre | Saison HMJ» Starts 19:00, ends about 20:00.

Maaar three-voice world music trio, Portevent, Nantes

Portevent

On Thursday 15 April the Portevent venue on Boulevard Henry Orrion in Nantes hosts Maaar, a trio of women singers who meet on the roads of music. The listing introduces Elsa, a Breton singer drawn to world music whose clear voice found an echo in Galician song, Charlotte, an accordionist and singer who loves danceable and creolised music, and Rebecca, a Venezuelan musician and singer with a strong sense of rhythm. Together they twist the idea of the classic female trio and weave songs in several languages and rhythms. Rhythm is everywhere, carried by their voices, the accordion, an arsenal of percussion and even their stamping feet and clapping hands. The concert is presented in partnership with Le Nouveau Pavillon. The announcement is in French and tickets cost between 10 and 15 euros, with the lower price shown. It starts at 20:30 and ends about 22:00. «Maaar» Starts 20:30, ends about 22:00. Source: OpenAgenda — La Bouche d'Air (open data).

Lunchtime cello octet concert, Nantes conservatoire auditorium

Conservatoire de Nantes

On Friday 16 April at half past noon the auditorium of the Conservatoire de Nantes hosts a short lunch-break concert by an octet of cellists, as part of the season of the Orchestre National des Pays de la Loire.

The concert lasts about forty-five minutes, which makes it an easy plan for a midday break. Single tickets cost 10 euros and can be booked on the orchestra's website or bought on the spot on the day, subject to availability. The text is in French. It starts at 12:30 and ends about 13:15. «Pause concert octuor de violoncelles | Saison ONPL» Starts 12:30, ends about 13:15. Source: OpenAgenda — Conservatoire de Nantes (open data).
