Lausanne, Switzerland
report of the visit
Before the visit, we sent a message to the producers we would have met in Lausanne:
«What does it mean to consider a show, a festival, an encounter or a project “empty”? To make it an object free from definitions except the ones that are produced by the thought of its existence BEFORE and AFTER? […]
You could do the same thing with the body, and define it through what it was and what it will be […] »
