Watch & Act

Willing to interrogate the relation between watching and acting, and as an extension of the exhibition, LE BAL invites six artists (choreographers, dancers,performers) to create an innovative work whose starting point, image-document, is playing the role of generator. In the exhibition space, each of the six plays presented will highlight the body agency, opening a dialogue between two understandings’ systems of reality. Bodys crossed by history will become as well «the site» of repressed memories as the expression of historical unthoughts.
From visual arts to living arts, the goal will be to open the stage to dialogue, or even confrontation, leaving no other choice to the public than «taking a stance».
