History talk on free people of colour, Departmental Archives, Nantes

Archives Départementales

The departmental archives of Loire-Atlantique, in the centre of Nantes, host a history lecture on a Thursday evening about the so-called free people of colour who lived in the city in the eighteenth century. Nantes was the main French slave-trading port, and the talk uses a royal declaration of 1777, which ordered a census of Black, mixed-race and other people of colour, as a way into the subject. Some of those counted were free, though how many is hard to establish. Starting from a handful of well-documented personal journeys, the speakers, a university lecturer in early modern history, Bernard Michon, and a master's student, Garance Niget, retrace what became of several of them. It is organised with a local archaeological and historical society and lasts one and a half hours.

Une Histoire autrichienne, Compagnie les Maladroits, Mixt, Nantes

Mixt, salle Nova

On Wednesday 2 December 2026 at 20:00 Mixt in Nantes hosts Une Histoire autrichienne by the Compagnie les Maladroits in its salle Nova. The listing describes an object-theatre piece in which Arno Wögerbauer investigates a buried family past. It begins like a postcard, with Lukas writing to his great-uncle Leopold about skiing, cheese sausages and football, before turning to a discovered history: a teenager in 1930s Austria swept up in collective enthusiasm and enrolled in the Hitler Youth. The piece asks what he knew and what choice he had. Wögerbauer, an associate artist at Mixt, entrusts his story to Marion Solange-Malenfant, and text, paper, charcoal, matches and models bring up fragile images about shame and responsibility. The listing does not give a price, and booking goes through the Mixt website. The show is scheduled to end at 21:25. Quiet, story-driven theatre is easy to attend alone. «Texte, papier, fusain, allumettes et maquettes font surgir des images fragiles» Starts 20:00, ends about 21:25. Source: OpenAgenda — Mixt (open data). The listing does not give a price and links to the Mixt ticketing page.

It is tagged as song, concert and reggae/dub. The advance price is 20.80 euros, or 16 euros with the Stereolux card or for partner subscribers, and tickets are sold through the venue's own website.
