Presentation

La pensée continuera de danser // MazelFreten

Duo MazelFreten imagines a meeting between dance and philosophy with Emmanuel Leclercq. Together, they explore a form of bodily thinking that precedes words. On stage, gestures and speech flow, transforming fragility into shared energy and turning movement into a space for thought.

Premier Millimètre // Laura Vazquez

Laura Vazquez presents a performance reading of her poems: bringing the text to life through the body, the voice, and space. Raw, sometimes jarring language that explores breath, sound, and presence. The vitality of language in the act of living. Nothing harmless.

SACD

The SACD (Société des auteurs et compositeurs dramatiques) is the oldest authors’ society in the world. Founded in 1777 by Beaumarchais, it is a non-profit civil society organisation owned by its member authors. It represents over 64,000 authors working in the performing arts, cinema, audiovisual media and digital creation. It manages and defends their rights, provides them with a wide range of services, advises and supports them, and, through the private copying levy scheme, promotes contemporary creation and the dissemination of works. The SACD, which is deeply committed to defending cultural diversity, is active in national and international bodies to protect authors and their works, and to defend their status and remuneration conditions. SACD is the Festival’s long-standing partner on the ‘Vive le sujet! Tentatives’ programmes and collaborates on an ad hoc basis with other Festival initiatives.
