2014 Scam : Radio Night Scam : Radio Night
An evening presented by the Scam, Ina and Radio France.
Friday August 22 at 9 pm, in Saint-Laurent-sous-Coiron.
Free shuttle bus from the Lussas Church at 8 pm.
Spirit of the Place... Place of the Spirit
Following enigmatic byways, Ina's radio archives transport us over the airwaves to places where the intimate mingles with the worldly, from here and now to beyond it all.
Places where the spirit rests an instant. Earthbound or touching the skies, it opens onto the highest mountains in the world, penetrates into legendary forests, gets lost in the worlds of luxury, work, the arts or the gloom of haunted castles.
Spirit, are you there?
Jean-Louis Rioual
