The Last Summer

Letting the walls of a building speak
“What if the walls of the building had ears
And if they had listened
Attentively
For years, decades
What could they tell us?”
On the weekend of 16 to 18 September, as part of the European Heritage and Cultural Summer Days of the DRAC Île-de-France, Le Dernier Été takes visitors on a poetic journey in 3 apartments destined for demolition: a moment of pause to celebrate together the living memory of the Anatole France district in Nanterre.
How to preserve the memory anchored in the walls and in the hearts of the inhabitants? How can we take care of the intangible, social and human heritage of a neighbourhood and give it a place in future urban projects?
L'Épicerie Rose and a dozen artists, coordinated by the company Teatro Container and the collective Superbrut.es join forces and offer an experience including performance, theatre, video mapping, collaborative exhibition, and friendly moments imagined with the inhabitants of the neighborhood.
