FURTHER AFIELD
Led by Sébastien Valignat, this satirical performance traces the democratic misadventures of France through a humorous time-travel odyssey. From the ancient Greeks to Charles de Gaulle and contemporary media, the show links personal civic experience to grand historical narratives to interrogate political organisation. The staging combines pointed documentary references with comic invention, inviting reflection on institutional tensions and current authoritarian temptations. Presented by the compagnie Cassandre, the piece balances satire and critical inquiry.

FURTHER AFIELD
The choreographic duo SoulMagnet reimagines celebration as an act of resistance and emancipation in an augmented recreation of their seminal piece. Joined by two dancers, a DJ and a live video artist, they weave a dialogue between disciplines: dance for collective osmosis, music for pulse, and live video as contemporary lighting—intimate viewpoint, mise en abyme or collective memory. Together they propose an ecology of human connection, a contemporary ritual that reconnects bodies to agency and reveals the subversive power of the dancefloor.
