Past events
Atelier - Le corps s'étend - Omar Aljbaai and Dasha Sedova - l'atelier des artistes en exil
For this workshop combining dance and theater, Dasha Sedova and Omar Aljbaai, in association with l'atelier des artistes en exil, propose to reintroduce the notion of play and joy into our daily movement practices. Over a period of an hour and a half, participants will explore walking, bodily interactions in everyday situations and ways of occupying space with an unusual eye.
Performance by Rafram Chaddad (invited by Martha Kirszenbaum)
As a self-taught artist and culinary expert with a particular interest in the Judeo-Arabic cuisine of North Africa, Rafram Chaddad transposes the function of the hammam into a place not only of care and relaxation, but also of food and sharing. For one afternoon, he took over Marseille's Zein hammam, located near the Old Port, and offered to cook and serve dishes to customers during their treatments.
Stroll - These words in which we circulate - David Poullard - Bureau des Guides du GR2013
All around us, as we walk through the city, are texts, words and letters. David Poullard invites us to discover this scriptural hubbub, which has a form, an origin, a state of existence conducive to raising questions, and rich in teaching for those who take the time to cast an inquisitive eye over it. He will question a series of "cases" on a walk that will take us from Réformés to the Old Port, passing through three distinct neighborhoods.
Concert by Meryem Koufi and Juan Carmona (guest.es by Alain Weber)
Flamenco's history is rooted in the memory of a harmonious Andalusia, where the beauty of nature and the stars, nourished by the knowledge of the Ancients and ancient Arabic poetry, where the sacred texts of the Torah, Bible and Koran rubbed shoulders with Visigoth, Moorish, Jewish, Christian and Amazigh cultures. Its gypsy aspect also links it to an intense, proud music. Andalusia, perhaps even more than the symbol of a civilization based on a meeting of the three monotheistic religions, symbolizes an idyllic golden age between East and West, far removed from the alarming ecological context of today's Mediterranean.
Open-air cinema: Lina Soualem (invited by Martha Kirszenbaum)
