Perspectives, le temps de voir

Du vendredi 17 au lundi 20 mai 2013
Kitsou Dubois a travaillé en collaboration avec l'ESA (Agence Spatiale Européenne) et l’Observatoire du CNES (Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales) pour expérimenter la microgravité. Son dernier vol parabolique (le dix-neuvième) a eu lieu en mars 2009 à bord de l'Airbus A300-ZERO-G. Pour la première fois, elle a embarqué des caméras pour filmer en 3D/relief. Ces images inédites, accompagnées de deux autres projections, l’installation « Bulle » et des tirages photographiques grands formats constituent la matière artistique du projet « Perspectives, le temps de voir ».

Testament

Samedi 18 mai 2013 à 20h
Primés à plusieurs reprises pour Testament (Prix du Goethe Institut au Impulse Festival 2011, Prix Wild Card au Festival Favoriten 2010…), le collectif She She Pop s’inspire pour la première fois depuis sa création en 1998 d’un texte dramatique : le Roi Lear de Shakespeare. Il ne s’agit toutefois pas d’assister à une représentation fidèle mais plutôt à une fine interprétation des thématiques de la pièce – le pouvoir, les enjeux de sa passation et la transmission entre les générations – filmée en direct et retransmise en fond de scène. En conviant leurs propres pères sur scène, les She She Pop montent un spectacle-performance à la fois touchant et sensible, abordant avec humour la complexité des liens de filiation, la vieillesse, l’héritage et le rapport père/fille.
