As part of the 2025 European Heritage Days, the Orchestre National de Lille will perform Erik Satie’s Parade in front of the front curtain from the ballet Parade (1917) by Pablo Picasso, a work held in the Centre Pompidou’s collection.
Built in the 1950s to sort mail for the Lille metropolitan area, the Tripostal was transformed into a cultural venue on the occasion of "Lille 2004, European Capital of Culture".
Since then, it has remained a hub for art and cultural life, located in the heart of the city between Lille Flandres and Lille Europe train stations. Its three 2,000-square-meter floors host major exhibitions, as well as performances, festivals, evening events, and artist residencies.
