From October 1 to 25, the 26th edition of the **Architecture Days** will take place in Strasbourg, organized by the European House of Architecture – Upper Rhine. The event explores the theme "Architecture and Landscape" through various activities, including cycling tours and site visits during lunch breaks. One of the tours will follow the waterways, such as the meanders between Montagne-Verte and the Elsau, on Sundays, October 4, 11, and 18, starting at 10 a.m. from the Rowing Club. Another tour on Wednesday, October 14, at 12 p.m., will explore the urban development project Deux-Rives, departing from the André Malraux Media Library. A third tour on Friday, October 9, at 9:30 a.m., will examine the Meinau and the Neuhof in transformation, starting from the tram Émile Mathis. The "Midday Visits" will give access to a dozen buildings and construction sites during lunch breaks. In Koenigshoffen, on Tuesday, October 6, visitors will tour the future neighborhood hub, which will welcome the town hall, a social medical center, and a cultural space in 2027. On Wednesday, October 14, the new Neuhof high school will be visited, showcasing the reuse of materials from the deconstruction of two buildings. On Wednesday, October 21, the secrets of the Rosa Luxemburg bridge will be revealed, which will connect the Citadelle peninsula to the quai des Belges. At the Pokop, the performance Mum, That's Slipping will be presented as part of a carte blanche given to Sacha Vilmar, a Strasbourg-based actor and director focused on the grotesque. The play features a family with idealized roles, disrupted by an apathetic intruder. Directed by Asja Nadjar from the company La Hutte, the performance satirizes society's obsession with image through a grotesque and virtual world filled with clownish figures. The prosthetic artist Jean Ritz, who worked on the show, will be in an open residency at the Aula of the University Palace, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily until October 3. The TJP theater will welcome the season with performances, concerts, and walks in the Petite France. On October 3 and 4, the opening of the season will be celebrated at the Petite Scene. The performance Retors paniques features puppets by Renaud Herbin, who come to life and speak, accompanied by a percussionist. Another show, La Tête "mi-pneu mi-punk" by Céline Garnavault and Thomas Sillard, features a funny robotic puppet head that sings from classical to beatbox. The performance Moon – Cabinet of Lunar Curiosities by circus artist Bastien Dausse explores gravity-defying machines. Santiago Moreno, the man-orchestra, will perform at Place Saint-Thomas, offering a visually and audibly engaging concert. Chloé Pesnec, who designed the graphic universe for the 2026-2027 season, will lead a creative workshop on both days. On Sunday, Delphine Lanson and Juliette Steiner will close their four-year association with theatrical surprises. The Espace K will host the local company Impro Alsace with Le Grand Détournement, a show that blends improvisation and cinema. The concept involves revisiting cult scenes and lesser-known film excerpts without the actors' voices. The public will propose themes, which will then be used by the improvisers. Selected film scenes include La La Land, Stranger Things, The Devil Wears Prada, The NeverEnding Story, and sequences from older or less-known films from German and Asian cinema. From October 5 to 18, the **Strasbourg Sacred Days** festival will bring together the world's cultures and spiritualities through music, using different places of worship in the region. For its 14th edition, the event will focus on Mongolian ancestral traditions under the theme "Paths of Light." The four musicians of the ensemble Tengerton will perform, preserving two key elements of traditional Mongolian music: the morin khuur fiddle and the diphonic khöömii singing, a technique recognized by UNESCO as part of the intangible cultural heritage. Each concert by Tengerton will be part of an evening featuring three groups with different musical styles and origins. Frédéric Fromet will perform in Bischheim with his show Frédéric Fromet se tient à carreau in a trio with François Marnier and Rémy Chatton. The performance will address topics such as ecology, violence against women, religion, extremists, and criminal cases, with Frédéric Fromet tackling these issues in a cheerful manner. The public will also discover his own compositions, with a concert featuring dance, singing, reflection, and plenty of laughter. The October Tone Parties (OTP), organized by the label October Tone specializing in pop, rock, and electro indie groups, will take place at the Karmen Camina on Friday, October 23, and Saturday, October 24. The event will feature a mix of unknown but talented groups and some "signatures" of October Tone, including KG and BBCC, with ten concerts and two DJ sets scheduled.
