En 2009, the voyage goes on...

EUROPE XXL

We imagined Europe XXL in terms of a journey of discovery through a new continent, a voyage through a Europe transfigured 20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

To enjoy four months of adventure across Central and Eastern Europe, we will start in vibrant Berlin and finish in Kazakhstan, 5 time zones away. The cities we pass through will be so many stations along the way providing unforgettable sights and experiences: the white nights of the Baltic States, the psychedelic sounds of Istanbul, a Polish Mleczny Bar, muscovite streetwear, an electronic thermal bath from Budapest…

Thanks to major exhibitions, supercharged Midi-Midi thematic weekends, radical shows and new venues where we can pause and appreciate the joys of life, Lille and the Eurometropolitan area are ready to adopt the tempo of the new East, taking us far beyond our everyday existence.

We provide the passports: bon voyage through the invisible borders!
