L’ATELIER DES RENCONTRES

FAR FROM WHERE? VARIATIONS ON TERRITORY

Conversations, performances, projections

Territory is, ideally, passages, itineraries, bridges and possible or made-up journeys. It is also an operator of nuances, here and not elsewhere. Traveling through territory means not just finding your bearings and organizing the readability of the terrain, but also, sooner or later, drawing borders and opening up the possibility of closing them. Four half-days of workshops, meetings, projections and conferences moderated by Raphaële Bertho, Jean‑François Chevrier, Bernard Comment and Jean‑Luc Perez.
