ACTION: SAVE FESTIVAL HASARD
Due to extraordinary and unprecedented constraints on public funding, abusive timing and late answers from institutional authorities, festival HASARD4, March 2023, is in deficit.
Thanks to the support of the participating public, the Landis & Gyr Foundation, Bonny Foundation, Migros Pourcent culturel and extraordinary private supporters, 50% of the total cost has already been collected.
Reaching the outstanding target will allow the minimum cachets to be paid to the artists, technicians, scientists and experts who participated in HASARD4, thus demonstrating to institutional authorities that the next editions of the festival should be supported because they are in the public interest.
HASARD4 is still online: www.festivalhasard.com

Festival HASARD is a space for artistic exchange, critical dialogue, trans-disciplinary creation and new evolving format since its inception and first edition mid 2020 and through the following editions.
The name of the festival HASARD (french for "chance") is not casual.
Chance and free will are in constant exchange with 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. To 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.
HASARD4 provided deep understanding into themes such as synchronicity, natural medicine, 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".
