Solar Punk Chronicles | Chapter 1: “The Seed”
Hadra Trance Festival 2026
The 2026 edition of Hadra Trance Festival marks the launch of the “Solar Punk Chronicles” trilogy.
“The Seed” will be the first installment of this trilogy.
Join us August 27–30, 2026, in Vieure to shape the optimistic future of the Hadra SolarPunk city, built on the symbiosis between nature, people, and responsible progress.
Let’s be honest: these are dark times.
The world seems to be fracturing, caught up in turmoil and increasingly polarized conflicts. Our bearings are becoming blurred, narratives are hardening, and culture sometimes struggles to find the space it needs to breathe and bring people together. Something feels exhausting, and the narratives that guide us are beginning to show their limitations.
Amid this unstable period, there have been moments of light. An anniversary that reminded us of the journey we’ve taken. Shared dreams. Water, which came with its storm, but also with unwavering solidarity. Despite the headwinds, we stood together. And this collective momentum carried hope.
Today, it has become necessary to rebuild concrete foundations. Fleeting utopias have long nourished our capacity to hope, to imagine other possibilities.
What if we planted the seeds of a possible future—one that is finally within reach?
In 2020, we spoke of utopia and nature: a tree was to be its symbol. But the world had other plans. The storm has passed, yet it has also nourished the earth.
Amid the ruins of a fragile civilization, where a few drops still fall, nature returns and slips into the cracks. This return of life is the fruit of what we have cultivated together. At the heart of this rebirth, a hand appears. It watches over and protects a seed, already beginning to sprout. Fragile, yet alive, this sprout carries the idea of a possible future.
This seed is a hope that we choose not to leave at the stage of a dream.
A solarpunk future, rooted in reality, imagined through the values of a community attentive to life. A future that blossoms over time, through inventiveness, responsible technology, and a committed hand.
Thanks to Antoine Doré, who is once again designing the festival poster this year and illustrating the opening pages of the SolarPunk trilogy.
