“Psychanalyse des Fleurs” is coming to Normandy !
As part of the ARTS EN CITÉS 2026 Festival, the City of Bellême is pleased to host the “Psychoanalysis of Flowers” exhibition at Bellême City Hall starting June 19, 2026, for a three-month run—in the Salle des Cages at City Hall.
This immersive experience combines literature, sound design, and olfactory composition. The exhibition features listening stations where the author’s texts, performed by actors and actresses, interact with original fragrances created by perfumer Kitty Shpirer.
