Other residencies and hospitality

As part of the fabrique des arts vivants, far° occasionally hosts artistic residencies at the Marchandises between September and July. Most of these enable numerous projects to come to fruition during the festival, but others are not always linked to the programme. In 2023, Les Marchandises was occupied for 180 days by residencies. This format has existed since 2020.

To find the full list of residencies by year (from 2020 to 2022), go to this page.
