For this new edition, the Human Scale festival lets itself be won over by the movements of artists, researchers, students and audiences who seize Lafayette Anticipations and unveil the spaces of play, porosity and change.
In one weekend, the festival brings together polymorphic encounters: performances, installations, practice workshops, films, conversations, naps, parties—all opportunities to experience the relationships that move us and to question the transformations. The performer Ivan Cheng designs a new piece, Clarities, which disturbs the use of language, genres and the spectacular. In an in situ version of Apocalypso, Luara Raio and Acauã El Bandide Sereia invoke buried images; their rituals reveal, layer by layer, the state of a burning earth. Alix Boillot proposes a potential Scenography, an ilôt of abstract and sensitive forms that activations, looks and words do not cease to modify. L'Origine de la mort, a new performance by Paul Maheke, explores the dialogue between dance, sound and identity, drawing on stories from the roller rink culture and the figure of the vampire. Choreographer Taos Bertrand is designing a workshop with students from the Beaux-Arts de Paris, who will share their research at the end of the festival. An ephemeral reading room designed by Tai Shani welcomes visitors for rest and discovery; a film cycle, collective practices and public meetings occupy the floors of the Foundation — all, to think and live together the movements of the present.
