« Ce sont deux mondes chaotiques qui se confient
L’un demande à être initié, l’autre se sent vulnérable
Alors le silence s’invite, arrive la respiration
Une adresse et le mouvement apparaît
La musique percussive convoque le sacré
Séries de tremblements, ralentis, jaillissements
Jalonnent la prise d’espace
Le blaze Meech laissera place au récit de la lignée Onomo
Faire peau neuve, s’autoriser à
Lâcher prise dans la célébration
Le rite de passage se dessine pas à pas,
Invite au partage d’une expérience du déplacement
Des gestes d’antan qui s’entrecroisent
Avec le cri du corps d’aujourd’hui
L’ombre et la lumière déploient finement
Un entre-deux monde
Du vivant et de la mort,
Du visible et de l’invisible,
De l’arrêt et de la libération »

LIMINAL, Forensic Oceanography, Border Forensics From Sea to Sky
Featuring different works by the LIMINAL, Forensic Oceanography and Border Forensics collectives, the multimedia installation From Sea to Sky approaches intersectional immobility and frontier-based violence at sea. The objective is to highlight the way in which the Mediterranean maritime space has been transformed into a militarized border zone.
Lawrence Abu Hamdan Zifzaafa
Zifzaafa, is an arabic word to describe a wind that shakes and rattles all in its path. Here, it becomes the title of a performance of artist and researcher Lawrence Abu Hamdan, that enmeshes sonic composition, video game engines and spoken word, to immerse us in the heart of a movement to resist green colonialism in the occupied Syrian Golan heights.
Alessandro Sciarroni U. (un canto)
A year after the premier of IRIS at the Butte-aux-Cailles swimming pool, commissioned by the Festival d'Automne, in which he explored the Italian polyphonic repertoire, Alessandro Sciarroni brings us U. (un canto). This music-based performance piece evokes the profoundly mysterious relationship between human beings and nature.
Lina Majdalanie, Rabih Mroué Quatre murs et un toit
In 1947, the trial of German playwright Bertolt Brecht took place in the United States in front of the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), responsible for combating communist activism. It was here that Brecht wrote a declaration which he was forbidden to read out. The minutes of the trial, as well as this declaration, constitute one of the axes of this exuberant show.
