After a first edition in Uchon in the Théâtre de verdure in June 2022, Les Chaos Ambiants, an event combining contemporary creation and Morvan heritage, returns for its second edition in front of the Couhard pyramid in Autun. This project aims to compose with the places a musical landscape created by the musicians Roman Delore, Myles Dillon, Alkini, Everest and Metshka, from Amiens, Dublin, Nantes and Paris. Alice Bidault, a visual artist living and working in the Morvan, will propose an installation in connection with the monument. An educational workshop on the heritage of the Morvan will be led by the associative gallery Modulab of Metz, whose goal will be to sensitize children and their parents to the history of the territory and the importance of safeguarding the heritage by a playful approach. The festival, dedicated to the discovery of the heritage of the Morvan, new musical practices and contemporary art, highlights local producers mobilized in favor of the short circuit and actors who act for the preservation and protection of the environment. This event favours a small format to ensure optimal comfort when listening, meeting and travelling; a unique stage to promote emerging and established artists; a natural environment conducive to the discovery of musical works and artistic installations; an ecologically responsible approach to limit its environmental impact.

About the location

Pyramide de Couhard
Pierre de Couhard, 71400 Autun
  • Saône-et-Loire
  • Bourgogne-Franche-Comté
Located on the heights of the city of Autun, the pyramid of Couhard, also called Couhard stone, is a funerary monument built on one of the many Gallo-Roman cemeteries extramuros between the 1st and the 3rd century. Today, the Couhard stone is only the “core” of a more important monument. On a square base 10.50 m high, stood a pyramid of 22.65 m, without funeral chamber: the old boreholes showed that the building has no cavity. The mystery remains on the deceased to whom this monument is dedicated. Only a magic lead tablet, from the 2nd century AD. J.C., bearing evil inscriptions in Latin and Greek, was discovered at the base.
