Description

The “c.a.d.ha.me†association is the meeting up of three local cultural initiatives: the Eureka association, which since 1983 has organised concerts and festivals of “today’s music†; the sculptor Stephan Balkenhol, who has taken up the task of cultural advisor; and the Amoros & Augustin theatre company from a nearby village in Alsace, who wish to use this "Hall of Glass" as an anchor for its educational initiative to the schoolchildren of North Vosges, the protected area in which Meisenthal is situated. On completion of renovation work, the Halle Verrière will house a multidisciplinary workspace (Today’s music, Plastic arts, Theatre, etc.), mostly run by the three partners.
