2pm | Writing workshop
By Jeyni Ba and Kenza Agbo
On registration
In this writing workshop, Jeyni Ba and Kenza Agbo invite to build community around the book Non noyées by Alexis Pauline Gumbs.
“To love is to recognize a community, to be held by others, to fall together and to find a breath in the breathing of others. We invite you as Afro-descendent women to break free from racist, sexist and speciesist capitalism. This writing workshop is a space to catch your breath, to resist captivity, to reclaim our rhythms, our legacies, our alliances.”

Aurelien Vieillard
MY BODY +
Duration : 7 min
MY BODY + is a performance in which Aurélien Vieillard explores the ability of the body to metamorphose, to cross contrasting and sometimes opposite states. By oscillating between fragility and strength, sensuality and power, control and fault, he seeks to reveal the internal tensions that cross our bodily identities.
Through a hybrid choreography, borrowing from popular dance and combat sports, he plays with the codes of gender performativity and questions its contours around a sensitive questioning.
Jade Maignan
Apnée
Duration : 30 min
An institutional critique of the theatrical environment: we are facing a figure who says goodbye to 40 artistic forms that she created but which, according to the production and broadcasting networks of the environment, were born badly. And to say goodbye, she plays them again!
Yixuan Xiao
Bruxisme et Chalazion : Ginger
Duration : 25 min
“It’s a morning to discover a swollen eyelid; the pain of a growing jaw and skin pierced by a needle every three weeks; a Chinese remedy for hair loss; a poem written at the end of an ordinary day of transness.”
Bruxism and Chalazion: Ginger can be perceived as an invention of care ritual, a factory of self in progress. This performance depicts a body and mind constantly on the move, seeking to reach out towards an ever-unfolding horizon of future.
Bianka Zamatoczka
Urgence d’agir
Duration : 20 min
During this performance, Bianca Zamatoczka plays musical instruments that she herself made from firearms. The soft and meditative nature of sound contrasts with the aesthetics and history of these objects of violence, which have become objects of poetry. Their monumentality mobilizes the whole body with great gestures that let strong emotions shine through: anger, despair, desire to resist. The sound glides over the boundary between harmony and cacophony and embodies the shadows of a war. Faced with the absurdity of the world, this performance is a pacifist aspiration to sublimate pain into tenderness.
Clara Eon
I guess it was just a dream
Choreography - Clara Eon
Composition - Syham Khelifi
Duration : 7 min
Inspired by an atmosphere inspired by the worlds of David Lynch, the choreography diverts the archetypes of the pin-ups of the Hollywood films of the 40’s and 50’s to reveal their flaws. The hyperfeminacy becomes a field of ambiguity: between power of emancipation and trap of the male gaze.
As part of the exhibition Chère Melpomène
