EXCEPTIONAL EVENT AT THE GOUFFRE DE PADIRAC

A UNIQUE MUSICAL JOURNEY WITH MARCO POINGT

A UNIQUE CREATION 103 METRES UNDERGROUND

Some people climb mountains. Others explore the depths. And sometimes, these paths converge, driven by the same spirit of discovery.
In 1889, Édouard-Alfred Martel revealed the wonders of the Gouffre to the world.
In 2025, Marco Poingt hoisted a piano to the summit of Kilimanjaro. The same audacity, driven by the conviction that beauty deserves to be shared.

After his exploits at the top of mountains, all that remained was to invite him to dive into the depths of the earth.

A musician in perpetual search of inspiration, from wide open spaces to the highest peaks, Marco Poingt will this time continue his creative quest at the centre of the Earth.

‘As a child, I read Jules Verne and dreamed of extraordinary adventures. Today, this invitation to dive into the heart of the Padirac Cave is a bit like my journey to the centre of the Earth. This place has a rare, almost mystical power. I can't wait to feel the energy of these ancient rocks and share this experience with the public.’

Marco Poingt


This spring, the virtuoso pianist and avid traveller will draw inspiration from the beauty, mystery and acoustics of the depths of the Gouffre de Padirac to deliver a unique artistic performance.

Much more than a concert, an immersive experience awaits the audience:

  • original musical creations composed especially for the occasion
  • an ambitious, wandering scenography
  • a rare encounter in a magical place
