Performance

As part of the Art Explora festival and in partnership with the Shem'sy national circus school in Salé, the three artists Klara Fontibus, Nassim Azarzar and Aliocha Tazi invite students to take part in the creative process of Act.1_Brise. Students from all disciplines will be able to appropriate the various elements that make up flying (or non-flying) structures, in order to create a choreographic and narrative game. The research carried out during this workshop will be the subject of two open-air public performances.

Act.1_Brise is an ephemeral, evolving attraction, inspired by informal urban practices such as street vendors, musicians, storytellers, magicians and small car rental companies. Itinerant and aerial, Act.1_Brise invites individual or collective reflection based on a repertoire of forms that can be assembled into flying structures. The environment is transformed into a playground for observation. Between floating habitats and aerial sculptures, these elements draw the contours of an ephemeral territory. This experience aims to transcend the limits of the everyday, offering a playful, immersive space where the boundaries between observation and action become blurred. An aerial and terrestrial ballet, creating moments of exchange and interaction to poetically reflect on ways of "catching the wind". The installation will be produced in collaboration with the Shems'y circus school, and will take place outdoors on the outskirts of the big top.

Ahead of this event, the group is offering a 5-day workshop with circus and scenography students in the week before the festival, to share modules and techniques for making kites.

Klara Fontibus (1996, FR-BE) creates an unfolding corpus of narratives, derived from a practice of screen-printing and lived spaces. In her work, we observe the displacement of motifs - the organic form, the grid, the trace - on a set of objects conceived and designed by her to control the uses of everyday life, revealing their uncertainties. Everyday objects thus become the territory of all possibilities. Klara invites us to move in, to desire them with her, (in) these spaces. Today, her practice extends more rigorously around the art of the table, creating shared moments around a gesture, where the visitor is invited to become a host.


Nassim Azarzar (1989, FR-MA) draws his pictorial language from typically Moroccan images, transposing their forms and questioning their meanings through various contexts. This research has led to the creation of his own visual language, reflecting the complexity of defining his identity as a person born in France of Moroccan parents. Nassim's aesthetic exploration encompasses decorative arts, painting, drawing, sculpture, graphic design and experimental cinema.

Aliocha Tazi (1995, FR-BE-MA) proposes ensembles of interactive forms, derived from both individual and collective practices. They are composed of aggregates of reused materials and misappropriated objects. Constantly moving back and forth between the studio, the public space and the exhibition space, Alyosha generates cycles of mutation in which the status of objects oscillates between work and artifact. At times, he reports on lived experiences, while at other times he creates moments of encounter where his objects are activated and become spaces of welcome.
