Presentation

How do you teach the arts and creativity? Can we transmit emotion, sensitivity, intensity and passion? How can we encourage young apprentice artists to explore their own relationship with creation, and to fully integrate their own being into their artistic expression, paving the way for a living, vibrant art form capable of touching audiences? In partnership with the Collection Lambert, ARTE invites you into the intimacy of studios and schools to follow dance and theater classes and the lessons of two great masters, Pina Bausch and Peter Brook. A selection of fascinating documentaries and a surprising new series preview, accompanied by meetings with artists and teachers.

Those who blush

By Julien Gaspar-Oliveri // France // 2024 // 8 episodes of 10"

A dramatic comedy fueled by improvisation to convey the vertigo of adolescence with accuracy and delicacy. A dozen high-school students in a theater option see a substitute teacher arrive for a month. As they declaim Shakespeare, keeping their distance, the teacher cuts the rehearsal short. In the midst of an age when people often move forward masked, with their gaze too high or their head too low, the question of intimacy imposes itself on them.

Winner of the Best Short Series award at the Séries Mania 2024 festival, Those who blush will be broadcast 2024 fall on arte.tv.
