This new programming by France Culture in the Cour du Musée Calvet is based on the idea that literature, poetry, and theatre are not only weapons but also a way to distance oneself, to “disorient” oneself from current events. “A great writer must dare venture out like Don Quixote,” says Enrique Vila-Matas, special guest for this programme. The audience is therefore invited to a wild ride alongside some emblematic works, in the language of Cervantès but also in that of Diderot. With humour and whimsy, guaranteed.
Les visages et les corps by Patrice Chéreau
How do you inherit art? How do you pass on the memory of a late director? These are the questions that led to the creation of the Association Transmission Chéreau, chaired by Jack Lang. Patrice Chéreau died just over ten years ago. He had placed transmission at the heart of his work as an artist and theater director, notably creating a school for actors at the Théâtre Nanterre-Amandiers, which he had imagined as a "permanent workshop", a laboratory. With the Association Transmission Chéreau and ERACM, we imagined a direct transmission experience, both for the student actors and for the audience. We asked actor and director Clément Hervieu-Léger to pass on Chéreau's spirit to a group of student actors.
July 14 at 3pm at Maison Jean Vilar, screening of Stéphane Metge's documentary Le Corps au travail, followed by a discussion with the director and Clément Hervieu-Léger.
