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.
canicular // Rebecca Journo
Choreographer Rebecca Journo invites sound artist Diane Barbé for a performance based on the song of cicadas. Triggered by the vibration of their membranes, their singing the evolution of the temperature to become an indicator of heat. Immersing herself in this microcosm, Rebecca Journo returns with images of women-insects and hallucinatory droughts. With Diane Barbé’s psychedelic modulations as a backdrop, her dance revives our charred bodies.
Trace... // Michael Disanka and Christiana Tabaro
Every show has its share of material set aside, of ideas that did not find a place in the final form. Michael Disanka and Christiana Tabaro call those fragments of scenes and other unfinished melodies their “poetic residue.” Delving into their archives, they turned those traces into a multidisciplinary performance: a testament to thirteen years during which a theatre that speaks to the world has been written in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
