The media library of Eyguières is part of the establishments selected as part of the “Us, Witch and Wild” festival initiated by the departmental library of Bouches-du-Rhône, a free cultural program open to everyone at several locations in the region.
The Eyguières site will therefore host a digital workshop, two performances, and a theater piece, focusing on the themes of “wild, identity, and metamorphosis.”
After the success of the show “Vassilissa,” presented in October 2025 at the Alcazar attic in front of more than 120 spectators, the program continues in 2026 with three new events. The digital workshop “In Your Image” is scheduled for Wednesday, March 4, 2026, at 3 p.m. at the media library. It will offer an introduction to photography followed by the creation of a self-portrait on a green background. Participants will discover digital editing tools to express their personality and highlight their “wild” side.
Cultural journeys between theater and performance The theater piece “The Hunt” will be presented on Saturday, April 25, 2026, at 11 a.m. at the Alcazar attic. Written by Karin Serres and directed by Annabelle Sergent, this immersive and sonorous conference stages Jean Durruti, a night watchman at the Museum of Natural History, whose quest for the wild man brings up a fragmented and troubling memory.
The cultural cycle ends with the performance “Believe in the Beasts,” which will be performed on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, at 5 p.m. in the Frères-Recordier park. Adapted from the autobiographical story of Nastassja Martin, this performance combining theater and music explores the poignant encounter between an anthropologist and a bear in Siberia, where the boundaries between the human and wild worlds blur.
A dense program that puts the media library at the heart of Eyguières’ culture. All these events are free, subject to availability. Information and reservations can be made at the media library. This festival carries a cultural season that blends performances, workshops, readings, and meetings. It explores the figures of the witch and the wild, long marginalized or stigmatized, by placing them at the center of imaginaries.
