La Bâtie: SIX/SIX

A creative project featuring encounters between six emerging performers and seasoned choreographers, resulting in six solo pieces that delve into intergenerational dialogues through varied artistic disciplines. “Fanfaron” by Thibault Lac and Collin Cabanis offers a melancholic reflection on the memory-laden remnants of a vagabond performer. Meanwhile, “After the silence [conversation with Vivian Maier]” by Delphine Hecquet and Clémentine Le Bas immerses itself in the world of the enigmatic photographer Vivian Maier, exploring her perspective and posthumous works. This stimulating initiative places the art of performance at the heart of the creative process.
