Antigel Festival – Faire Fleurir

Performances

Usine à Gaz

Nicolas Fayol performs a striking solo that confines the body to a 1.5‑metre landscape, exploring what a man becomes when he can no longer stand. Through contortions, breaths and improvised encounters between hands and feet, he invents new physical vocabularies that blend acrobatics, yoga and hip‑hop. Bathed in precise lighting and accompanied live by the duo Mont Analogue, the piece shifts between animal, child and prehistoric forms, offering a tactile, intimate meditation on human posture and transformation.

Held in pre-trial detention, he was released after more than three months, following strong public support and mobilization.

Chiara Bersani — Sottobosco

Performances

Pavillon ADC

Choreographer Chiara Bersani invites the audience into the undergrowth of an imagined forest, performed in duo with dancer Elena Sgarbossa and a group of workshop participants. The piece stages bodies limited by disability to probe movement, survival and collective care. Inspired by confinement and the inequalities revealed by the pandemic, it turns the stage into an ecosystem — a vibrating floor, layered soundscape and a shared spatial attention — where small gestures, bodily memory and vulnerability become transformative forces and the basis for a newly imagined community.
