For the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Lafayette Anticipations and Ateliers Médicis are teaming up with ebb.global to produce an extraordinary project with 60 students from Clichy-sous-Bois.

Their visions, sensations of a disrupted or ideal world, unfold in the form of a theme park.

An immersive, interactive experience, Gold Rush delves into the dreams and obsessions of young people who are imagining - and creating - new forms of sport, drawing inspiration from unique sports experiences or proposing new rules for games.

After several years' development work by ebb.global, teachers and students, this theme park is experimenting with new ways of creating and playing. Using the codes of the entertainment industry as a backdrop, the park offers new perspectives on society, its codes and its values. Gold Rush reclaims the "dream machines" of theme parks and invites visitors to be entertained by today's great myths.

Curators : Neïl Beloufa, Rebecca Lamarche-Vadel et Clément Postec

→ At Ateliers Médicis from 1 June to 27 July and at Lafayette Anticipations from 22 June to 1 September.
