On the evening of April 24, 2026, the opening ceremony of the Sino French Cultural Spring in Northeast China officially kicked off at the Mumu Theater of the 1905 Cultural and Creative Park in Shenyang. M. Florent Aydalot, Minister Counsellor for Cultural, Educational and Scientific Affairs at the French Embassy in China, attended the opening ceremony. Xu Bili, the founder of 1905, presided over the event and witnessed this important moment of cultural exchange between China and France with the live audience.
Baroque dance 'Four Seasons' premiered publicly in China, dialogue between strings and dance spanning three hundred years
The performance features the live performance of Vivaldi's 1725 masterpiece "Four Seasons" by the Shengjing Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra, accompanied by a dialogue with two Baroque dancers from the French Beauchamp Dance Company, Oc é ane Delbrel and Louis Macqueron, presenting an artistic fusion that transcends time and space.
Bruno Benet is one of the important inheritors of the Baroque dance revival movement in France and Europe. He said, "This is the first time I have presented an original work in China as a choreographer with my own dance troupe. 'Four Seasons' has never been performed in live music form before, and I am grateful to the Shenyang and 1905 teams for making this world premiere a reality
M. Florent Aydalot, Minister Counsellor for Culture, Education and Science at the French Embassy in China, stated at the opening ceremony that "2026 marks the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the 'Sino French Cultural Spring'. Over the past twenty years, this art festival has become an important bridge for cultural exchange between China and France. This year's event is inspired by the concept of "porcelain wedding", symbolizing the profound and enduring cultural bond between the two countries. On the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the birth of photography, the Northeast region brings a double exhibition of two French photographers, and more photography art masterpieces will be presented this summer. At the same time, a series of popular brand activities will also be launched one after another. May the 20th Art Festival continue to build bridges, promote dialogue, and open a new chapter in cultural cooperation between China and France

《未知植物》：艺术家文森·富尼耶童年听《小王子》唱片时，有一段关于花朵的章节因划痕始终没听到。多年后，他把这份遗憾变成了作品——以地球真实植物为蓝本，用3D技术创作出一本“星际植物标本集”。这些花朵从未真实存在，却像真的一样。该展览的策展人为法国摄影界学者米歇尔·普瓦维尔（Michel Poivert）。他曾说：“摄影不仅是艺术，更是一种沟通方式，让我们传递思想与情感，创造鲜活的图像。”
