Vendredi sur MerVendredi sur MerVendredi sur Mer

It takes courage to step back from a thriving photography career, especially when you’ve gone from the intimate microcosm of Geneva to the sophistication of Paris, collaborating with names like Hermès along the way. But Charline Mignot’s story took an unexpected turn: she needed a musical backdrop for an exhibition of her work and decided to create it herself with the help from a producer friend. What began as a casual session grew into a new ambition, transforming Charline Mignot into Vendredi sur Mer. The gamble seems to have paid off. Her French synth-pop possesses a transcendent allure that effortlessly crosses language barriers, earning her a place on stages across the USA, Mexico, England, Turkey – and now, voilà!, our Waldbühne.
