Research-Creation Year Gala
At the intersection of the arts, sciences, and technology, the Year of Research in Research-Creation (ARRC) is celebrating its fourth graduating class with a grand evening event showcasing projects in both the visual and performing arts.
The ARRC fosters critical reflection on the role of science and technology in contemporary societies. This evening exhibition will put these achievements into perspective by showcasing the projects of the fourth cohort.
Projects
It’s as if we were mountains
From the center of the Earth to the far reaches of the cosmos, from the first tool to rare earth elements, rock is everywhere. In a floating space, three people try to understand their fascination with stones. They experiment with their relationships to minerals, blurring the line between their bodies and their environment.
Concept and performance: Nour Batailh, Prune Brenas and Macéo Soualem
Between Earth and Sky
Between Earth and Sky: Physical Reinterpretations is part of an approach to theatrical recreation that highlights the role of the priestess in ancient Greece as a mediator between humans and the gods. This performance seeks to establish a dialogue between ancient Greek beliefs and the contemporary perception of the sacred.
Concept and performance: Mélusine Fayard, Brandon Jean-François and Marie Manceau
Banquet du 21
Based on archival research, Banquet du 21 explores the history of the Impasse du Maine in Montparnasse throughout the 20th century, highlighting its dynamics of solidarity and struggle in the face of changes in its environment. Amid encounters and disputes, reunions and celebrations, this piece offers a space where narratives from different eras intersect and where the walls of the studios bear the memory of the artists’ daily lives.
Concept and performance: Zélie Chabert, Félix Poullet-Pagès and Juliette Theureau
The Opposing View
We present an immersive, sensory installation based on the Young’s Slits experiment. Our installation offers a poetic and accessible exploration of science, inviting visitors to experience it within a responsive and interactive space. We aim to spark reflection on the relationship each of us has with the world, through an analogy with a specific physical phenomenon.
Concept: Shumeng Li, Romane Matzke and Mathilde Turpin
