Festival Super Flux

A festival at the crossroads of the arts

The Festival Super Flux is a unique event in the Tours festival scene. Born from the collaboration between three major cultural institutions in Tours — the École supérieure d'art et de design TALM-Tours, the Petit Faucheux (a venue for jazz and improvised music), and Le Temps Machine (a venue for contemporary music) — this festival explores the territories where music meets visual arts, graphic design, and performance.

Surprising and unclassifiable music

Super Flux defines itself as a festival of surprising music: no dominant genre, but a constant invitation to discovery and experimentation. Pop, contemporary music, rap, jazz, experimental music, electronic music: all genres intersect and blend in performances that push the usual boundaries. The festival is described as evolving, plural, abundant, itinerant, playful, and innovative, featuring unclassifiable music that is above all surprising, electrifying, and exciting.

Iconic venues in Tours

The festival takes over several cultural venues in Tours, creating a festival trail through the city. The spaces of ESAD TALM, MAME (a hub for creation and innovation), and Le Petit Faucheux host performances, talks, and installations. This urban itinerancy contributes to the festival's identity and allows festival-goers to discover or rediscover creative spaces in Tours.

Sound and visual performances

Beyond traditional concerts, Super Flux offers sound and graphic performances, audiovisual screenings, and immersive installations. This multidisciplinary dimension, inherited from the collaboration with the TALM art school, sets the festival apart from classic music events and makes it a unique gathering for lovers of cross-disciplinary arts and experimentation.

An accessible and curious festival

Super Flux aims to be an accessible and open festival, intended for the curious of all backgrounds. It offers an entry point to music and artistic forms often unknown to the general public, in a spirit of sharing and conviviality. The three days of the festival provide a complete sensory experience, inviting active listening, contemplation, and participation.
