MISSION ROOSEVELT
A Tony Clifton Circus Project
Let's start with the idea that you are not an audience, and therefore this is not a show.
This is an experience, or better yet, an experiment. You will be the participants, the guinea pigs, and above all, the sole and fortunate beneficiaries.
With MISSION ROOSEVELT, we want to traverse urban space, create a path, and leave a mark, a colorful trace on the ground. We want to share with you the pleasure of the forbidden, the pleasure of using a taboo object, an object used for the first time, which could, in itself, justify the whole thing.
The wheelchair is the instrument and the tool of MISSION ROOSEVELT, the symbol of everything that doesn't concern us, but which today belongs to us. It is a metaphor for inequality through which to conquer the city.
An urban experiment, a performance that calls upon public participation, transforming the audience, seated in wheelchairs, into a joyful war machine.
The ROOSEVELT MISSION invades the city.
PSG 4 EVER
Solo theatrical performance by and with Julien Prévost
This is the story of a lifelong PSG supporter. He knows everything about the players, the locker room anecdotes, the memorable goals, the humiliating defeats... He sees the arrival of Qatari ownership as good news. Money, top players, the return of big matches to the European stage.
Today, he retraces the steps of his passion and wonders where this visceral attachment comes from, where this passion is rooted within him. He needs to tell his story to better understand himself.
He recounts how he learned about football, his connection to the club, his shared history with PSG for over 30 years. By delving back into his past, his family history is revealed... ultimately, telling his story about football is telling an intimate story that unfolds on the living room sofa. A young teenager, his two brothers, and their father, glued to the TV for a European match in the early 1990s.
A portrait of a family, and perhaps a portrait of an era…
Preview screening: Le Grand V, Virieu-le-Grand, April 2023
COMING SOON
A project I imagined by Iacopo Fulgi
COMING SOON is deployed in the heart of the Noailles quarter in Marseille. Il y installe une petite perturbation, légère exagération de la réalité, petite provocation du quotidien, puis convertit l'espace en une scène à 360º where passants and inhabitants are among the protagonists and spectators.
COMING SOON questionne l'espace public, la marge de manoeuvre qu'on y trouve, la place de l'art et de l'artiste dans un quartier en évolution.
COMING SOON is also an audiovisuel project, or another one ahead of an audiovisual project. Il donnera lieu en tout cas à une creation fiction-documentaire retraçant l'intégralité du processus.
Deployment to Marseille: debut April 2022 (dates to be confirmed)
Coproduction: Lieux Publics, Center National et Pôle Européen de création
JARRY J'ARRIVE
A project conceived by Richard Gaitet
Alfred Jarry, poet and inventor of pataphysical science, was a passionate cyclist. To follow in his footsteps, pay tribute to him, and rediscover the joy of his work, we propose organizing a cycling race on the roads of his youth, 150 years after his birth, in July 2023. The race will start from Place Alfred Jarry in Saint-Brieuc and finish in Rennes. The 34 participants will stop every two hours in the villages along the route to compete in pataphysical challenges.
This project, which will traverse Brittany, will result in the publication of a book and the production of a podcast.
