Foodies of the Principality will be delighted by two “sea urchins” on Saturday March 12, at Monte-Carlo Market and Sunday March 13, 2022, at La Condamine Market.
It is the shellfish usually present at the Condamine Market every weekend, which will provide the raw material for this beautiful event, namely the famous sea urchins – freshly caught for the occasion!
On each of the two markets, an area specially reserved for consumers of these marine delicacies – at the level of the lower part of the pedestrian zone at the Monte-Carlo Market and on the Place d’Armes at the La Condamine Market, will be accessible by prior reservation no later than Monday, March 7. The set will include a plate of six sea urchins accompanied by bread and butter at the price of 13€ (excluding drink).
Also note that the vendors will offer its usual seafood offer in addition to the sea urchins.
And on the stage of Théâtre des Muses there is “Just So Stories” by Rudyard Kipling, with Aurélie Lepoutre and Batiste Darsoulant or Bachir Sanogo on Saturday 12 at 2.30 pm and 4.30 pm, Sunday 13 March 2022 at 11 am.
Sports fans should come to support their team at the Betclic Elite basketball championship: AS Monaco Roca Team – Roanne game on Sunday 13 March 2022, at 5 pm in Salle Omnisports Gaston Médecin – Stade Louis II.
As always there are a few exhibitions open in Monaco. To begin with there is “Tremors, Recent Acquisitions by the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco”, an exhibition presenting for the first time a selection of artworks acquired by the NMNM between 2010 and 2021, created by 18 artists of 10 different nationalities from Thursday 25 November 2021 to Sunday 15 May 2022, in Nouveau Musée National de Monaco – Villa Paloma.
Conceived by Célia Bernasconi, Exhibition Curator, Chief Curator at the NMNM, the exhibition brings together contemporary works by seventeen living artists, including nine women, of twelve different nationalities. All of them have in common that they respond to the definition of the thought of trembling which, in the words of the poet Édouard Glissant, “unites us in absolute diversity, in a whirlwind of encounters”.
Video installations, sculptures, paintings, photographs, translate the tremors of the world.
Another exhibition open in the Principality is Monaco – Alexandria, The Great Detour. World-Capitals and Cosmopolitan Surrealism from Friday 17 December 2021 to Monday 2 May 2022, in Nouveau Musée National de Monaco – Villa Sauber.
Monaco-Alexandria presents itself as an emancipated exhibition from the spectrum of nationalist and Eurocentric art history. It is remarkable in this respect to depart from Monaco and its Nouveau Musée National to rethink North-South relations, in particular between key areas of Mediterranean Europe, including in its African and Eastern dimensions.
Of course there are other interesting events taking place in Monaco. If you want to learn more about them visit our Calendar.
So have fun and enjoy your weekend!
