Call for participation – They always come back – Bouchra Ouizguen
Choreographer Bouchra Ouizguen invites adult amateur men to take part in They Always Come Back, a participatory performance premiering at the Festival d’Avignon in July 2025, outdoors on the Place du Palais des Papes.
As in her previous piece Corbeaux, she creates a shared experience in a non-theatrical space, engaging participants in her artistic language and reflections on love, memory, and the meaning of the strange.
The project begins with a workshop-audition in April. Following this, selected participants will continue the creative process, shaping the performance with and for them. Open to those with an affinity for performance, theater, dance, or singing—no prior artistic practice required.
Rehearsals take place in the evenings and on weekends, requiring regular attendance to fully engage in this collective journey.
