International Laboratory Festival of Performance
Deadline: March 5, 2012
Marseille, France
International Laboratory Festival of Performance
RedPlexus, network of exchanges and diffusion of new forms of performance
Dates: 19-29 September 2012 - Marseille, France
The financial crisis, bank’s debts, OWS, protest movements, arab
revolutions, police repression, increasing precarity, the feeling of
insecurity...How do you continue to live in this world in crisis? How do
you react as an artist? What kind of artistic devices can we invent,
what kind of artistic actions can we make in public space in order to
live in another way in urban space? How can we explore what’s possible?
How can we make our daily life more intense? How can we play with codes
and conventions?
PDU is a Festival laboratory combining artistic demands and
experimentations. 10 days of Experimentations, of Exchanges, of artistic
Confrontations and of Diffusion of Performance in urban places of
Marseille leading to Important Moments. 10 days of unannounced moments
which take place in urban and social context which are discovered by
chance and of RV communicated to the public (Avis de Chantier, Désordre
en Friche, Itinéraire de Désordre, Préavis d’Insomnie, meetings in bars,
Cartes blanches)
The spirit of the 6th edition:
How do you continue to live in this world in crisis?
How do you make the public sphere more enchanted?
How do you propose new forms of exchange in the city in a context of security drift?
We’re particularly interested in projects that: urban dwellers can share
with performers and sometimes even become part of the performance and
can fit to social abandoned urban places
