The Folie Wazemmes house is a mixed place, located in a district famous for its popular spirit and its cultural vitality. With the vocation of promoting popular cultures and provoking encounters, its principle is diversity: it is at the heart of exchanges and multiple crossovers between disciplines, artists from all backgrounds, and especially audiences. The old factory, made up of two buildings arranged face to face and separated by an interior street, now contains exhibition rooms, spaces for creation and residence, an inn with multiple possibilities and configurations, and a meeting room. conviviality, work rooms ... In its extension, a new building, covered with an intriguing shimmering metallic dress, serves as a performance hall. We wander from one space to another along the second interior street, a strong traffic axis in the district, which connects modernity to existing heritage. It is located at 70 rue des Sarrazins in Wazemmes, a popular district of Lille.
