Sur les bords #1
from 4 to 6 October, T2G – Théâtre de Gennevilliers invites Mette Edvardsen, Latifa Laâbissi / Antonia Baehr, Marcus Lindeen, Ariane Loze, Mathilde Maillard, Dominique Petitgand, Julien Prévieux, Vincent Thomasset and *DUUU – radio for a week-end of performance.
What happens when works are centred upon a horizontality of exchanges?
Whether it is the work by Wild Minds (2018) by Marcus Lindeen, a piece which invites us to listen to the life stories of people suffering from a compulsive dreaming disorder or Mette Edvardsen’s dreamlike universe to be listened to in the piece Penelope Sleeps (2019), audience members are invited to follow the thread of a sensation, that of being on the inside. Experience of this nature can also be felt via the body, such as in another work by Mette Edvardsen, Time has fallen asleep in the afternoon sunshine (2013), in which it embodies books. Or it might be via voices and sounds appearing, seemingly, from the seats and hangers in the ambulatory sound installation Les heures creuses (2018) by Dominique Petitgand. Away from it all, Antonia Baehr and Latifa Laâbissi perform Consul et Meshie (2018), a performance lasting several hours, as if time was suspended, with audience members wandering in and out at will.
What happens when we have access to the fabrication of a work?
In the company of the artist Julien Prévieux, we are given access to research spread out across the various spaces of the theatre, enabling us to approach Of Balls, Books and Hats (2018) from different points of view. Another extension of his work, conceived as an oblique reference, is present in the quadri-frontal staging (2016) of Vincent Thomasset’s Lettres de non-motivation, written by Julien Prévieux from 2000 to 2007. Ariane Loze plays at being several people in her short films and presents her work, at the crossroads between film and performance, in situ, thereby enabling us to see for ourselves the unfurling of a creative work. In order to continue to explore the fabrication of works, two workshops led by artists participating in the weekend event, are open to all. Mathilde Maillard’s project De près on ne voit que la peinture invites us to look into the intimate, everyday relationship between the artist and his or her work, done with the complicity of *DUUU radio, in association with TG2.
Co-Curator, T2G with Charlotte Imbault

In the same place
Kurō Tanino Maître obscur
In what ways does the unstoppable development of artificial intelligence (AI) permeate our lives and behaviour? Kurō Tanino, playwright of the poetry of our everyday lives and the imperceptible movements of the psyche, brings to the stage a world in which technology reveals the depths of our unconscious.
Katerina Andreou Bless This Mess
The choreographer Katerina Andreou draws upon the constant confusion and noise of the world as the driving force in this her first group piece. Playfulness, absurdity, fiction and poetry arise from within this mental and emotional state.
Satoko Ichihara Yoroboshi: The Weakling
Taking his inspiration from traditional Japanese forms, playwright and director Satoko Ichihara brings us a puppet theatre for today's world. It is a troubled one, in which the story revolves around the ambiguous nature of the dolls. In this modern tale, loneliness, suffering and sexuality are the driving forces behind these puppets the various weaknesses of which makes them ever more human.
Marcus Lindeen Memory of Mankind Conceived with Marianne Ségol
By reconstituting four perfectly extraordinary, but very real, stories Marcus Lindeen and Marianne Ségol raise questions about the notion of memory. Their unique form of theatre, in which spoken words of a personal nature are exchanged and feed off each other, is scrupulously crafted and philosophical in equal measure.
Alice Laloy Le Ring de Katharsy
There are no puppets in this large-scale new work by puppeteer Alice Laloy. Instead, we encounter humans which have been transformed into avatars and then thrown into a ring In order to compete in increasingly violent matches. This mise en abyme, at the frontier between wrestling-inspired ritual and video game scenario, invites us to question the limits of a society which simply follows orders.
