Par/ICI: Madeleine Fournier

Is ploughing the same as opening furrows? Does it mean devoting yourself entirely to hard work? Slipping into the steps of traditional and classic dance, the bourrée? For Madeleine Fournier, the polysemy of the verb is a springboard that enables her to leap from peasant culture to academic forms, via the female condition. Branded - the red of shame, emotion, desire and effort - she brings out the expressiveness, even the song, of simple, archetypal gestures.

Guests: Solange Panis and Julien Desailly

What does it mean to share a rhythm, a step, a touch? In two evenings, one in the form of a participatory ball, the other as a philosophical experiment, the question of community blossoms under the gaze of dance.

— Meet Frédérique Aït-Touati

What does it mean to share a rhythm, a step, a touch? In two evenings, one in the form of a participatory ball, the other as a philosophical experiment, the question of community blossoms under the gaze of dance.

This philosophy club will be looking at the relationship between theory and practice. Frédérique Aït-Touati, historian of science and stage director, will talk about her collective work Terra Forma, which features a series of maps as models of the world. She will show us how the map is a tool that can help us to see the world differently. And it can even become a choreographic score! To extend the evening, we'll be offering the public the chance to try out the dances from Le bal de la terre, a creation by Frédérique Ait-Touati and which is where they met.
