Experience MR-63’s Future Pavilion at Matériel Roulant, its Inaugural Event at Arsenal Art Contemporain
MR-63 is set to launch its annual event at Arsenal Art Contemporain on August 22 (this Thursday). It offers the perfect preview of MR-63 before the pavillion, composed of eight metro cars, officially opening at the end of 2025. The team behind this future landmark invites you to explore a vibrant world of flavours, colours, and sensory experiences, showcasing 100% local art, gastronomy, and design.
Under the theme of Matériel Roulant, the official inspiration behind MR-63, this immersive evening will plunge you into a post-apocalyptic world where glamour intertwines with a mysterious and uncertain future, an artistic vision crafted by Etienne Morin Bordeleau and Alexis Johnston-Benamous.

The first part of the event, set in a daring retro-futuristic decor, promises an immersive experience with multidisciplinary artistic performances, video projections with singer-songwriter Klô Pelgag and DJ CECE THE RED. There will also be gastronomic tastings from renown chefs from Le Caré Doré, signature cocktails, auction space + access to the “Soirée MR-63” concert. All of this from 6PM to 1AM.
Th second half of the Matériel Roulant evening will be electrified by Qualité Motel/Claudia Bouvette’s dynamic pop performance, Mike Clay, L’isle et Franky Fade + DJ Yuki joining in to cap off the night (from 9pm-1am). And yes, there’s an open bar! The second part of the event takes place from 9PM-1AM. Purchase your tickets here. Can’t wait to see you there :)
