Festival HASARD is a space for artistic exchange, critical dialogue, inter-disciplinary creation and evolving format since its inception and first edition mid 2020.
​
The name of the festival HASARD (french for "chance") is not casual.
Chance and free will are in constant exchange in our conditioned everyday reality.
In confrontation to a world increasingly dominated by AI, hard data, chance is a factor of vitality.
Chance leads to synchronicity, synchronicity happens through chance. Choice, complexity, evolution.
It is an empowering act.
It provokes regarding of the self and an access to the abundance of the dreamworld, our reveries.
​
Each edition of festival HASARD is unique in form, artistic intellectual stimuli, and creative residence.
During Covid 19 festival HASARD 1, 2 and 3 paid out over 150 cachets for artists and technicians.
​
First edition out of pandemia HASARD4 provided deep understanding into themes such as synchronicity, natural medicine, zombi trees, intelligence in natura, physics, time and matter, biology and anthropology, hypnosis, and states of consciousness, the oracular, I Ching, tao te ting, and tarot.

As writer Annick de Souzenelle explains:
"Chance is but reality unrecognized, the reality of the ontological laws linking the archetypes with the manifest world".
​
HASARD4 / Fri-Son
Live arts, conferences, dialogues, workshops, concerts, performances, cinema, parties. Robotics, rituals, plants, ecology, time, matter, synchronicities. A heightened frequency, a churning feeling, a foxy crowd, friends: audience! Dare to exchange, experiment, find, irreverently create. Be freak, hip, punk, whatever makes you tick. We are all visionary souls.

HASARD2 / Fribourg Connection Ticino
A hybrid proposal (launched due to Covid 19 restrictions December 2020) with the same curatorial dynamics as HASARD 1, but tailored specifically to artists, musicians, dancers, theatre practitioners, and performers from Fribourg and Ticino, Switzerland.
HASARD 2 provided for a full interactive streaming device to be set up, and the profuse encounter of artists back on the scene and their audience.
HASARD 1
A a pop-up festival opened during July 2020.
The program for the festival did not follow a curatorial line: all interested artists could participate and their diversity or quantity determined the dynamics to be implemented.
​
HASARD is a catalyst, a space for art to develop in its natural process. No target audience. It is up to the viewer to target according to her or his taste and to access the unexpected.
