For the second edition of the Moonlight Evening, the Villa Carmignac is opening its doors on the last day of the full moon in July, and offering performances inside its spaces and in the gardens. To mark the occasion, the guest artists summon the goddesses of the night, from Nyx to Zorya, from Ratri to Ix Chel, and echo the exhibition The Infinite Woman.
Between drag performances, dance and song, The Moonlight Soiree #2 extends the femininity that populates the Villa Carmignac this season. It writes new nocturnal and festive myths, celebrating the night, the moon and their unlimited creative breath.
