To see the stage of the Jardin de la Vierge as a space of experimentation: such is the idea behind Vive le sujet! Tentatives, which invites authors and artists to pick one or more companions and form multidisciplinary courts.
Méditation // Stéphanie Aflalo
Stéphanie Aflalo’s Récréations philosophiques bring together performance and philosophy with caustic humour. After Jusqu’à présent, personne n’a ouvert mon crâne pour voir s’il y avait un cerveau dedans and L’Amour de l’art, the actress and director continues her mental gymnastics exercises, inviting actor Jérôme Chaudière and performer Grégoire Schaller to play with words around the theme of death.
Baara // Tidiani N'Diaye
Drawing from their observation of workers, farmers, and garbage collectors, dancers and choreographers Tidiani N’Diaye and Adonis Nebié seek to appropriate these gestures repeated every day with precision and meticulousness. Against a backdrop of experimental music composed by Clara De Asis, their performance evokes the harshness of work and the alienation it causes at the same time as it explores the intoxication of repetition and the joy of being together.
