THE PANTAï COMPAGNY
Eric Frèrejacques (harmonica player and storyteller) and Joris Barcaroli (multi-instrumentalist) are versatile artists who strive to create lively performances, rich in words, notes, and colors, inspired by their travels, encounters, and desires. They offer us a musical and narrative journey, shedding light on a gallery of multicultural portraits at the heart of a 1960s America, captured by Henri Dauman's lens around the exhibition "The Manhattan Darkroom".

The exhibition
HENRI DAUMAN
/ THE LAST RETROSPECTIVE
From Andy Warhol’s first exhibitions to the beginnings of Minimal Art, the exhibition illustrates the advent of a dynamic and thriving artistic scene. New York is a crucible for these transformations, with its flourishing avant-garde embodied by Merce Cunningham, Philip Glass or Walter Carlos.
John V. Lindsay and John Fitzgerald Kennedy experiment with new forms of political marketing; communication changes and Henri Dauman’s work echoes these changes.
In the increasingly fast-paced 1960s, women, African-Americans and other minorities take to the street to claim their rights. In Life or the New York Times, Henri Dauman’s photographs document these evolutions, with his faithful and original style. More than a photography exhibition, "The Manhattan Darkroom" is a testimony to modern America.
