An anthology piece, Panoramix serves as a demonstration of the comical and critique-based might of La Ribot’s meta-performances. It takes a fresh look at the conditions of aesthetical reception and uses it as the basis for ridiculing the forms of the consumed body.

Distinguished pieces, the backbone of Ribot’s repertory of works, inaugurates a show format organised into short vignettes which are numbered and associated in series. Panoramix rearticulates thirty-four pieces devised between 1993 and 2000, without putting them into any chronological order. Focusing, respectively, on lightness, rapidity and visibility, according to a typology inspired by Italo Calvino, they bring to the stage La Ribot activating commonplace, run-of-the-mill domestic objects – an item of clothing, chair, book, tuba, or a mirror – which have been spread across the floor or taped to the walls. Her own body, the common thread underlying the constant, splintered metamorphosis, operates micro-actions. Evolving in an open space in which audience members are free to move around from one viewpoint to the next, they shed a derisive light on the art market and consumerism.

In Territoires, Mathilde Monnier will be taking over the galleries of the Centre Pompidou during the course of a weekend in order to bring us a piece that deals with memory and circulation, "a collection of gestures from her work over the past thirty years". In doing so, the choreographer sets up the possibility of playing out memory in the present, from now onwards, or by means of anticipation.

Over its forty years of existence, with Tim Etchells at the helm, the company has never stopped reinventing itself. And it continues to do so. Amidst an oscillating form of virtual reality, six performers find themselves deprived of their voices and their entire beings. The whole thing goes beyond all understanding... Welcome to this new world.

Par les villages

Sébastien Kheroufi discovered Peter Handke's Par les villages at the onset of his artistic career. It evokes a writer's return to his native village. Amidst the twilight setting in which one universe declines in favour of another, the voices of the “offended and humiliated” break their silence.
