Memory of a public landscape

Sound device on QR codesA year ago, the author and playwright Perrine Griselin asked here in Nîmes their memories of the Jardins de la Fontaine, she listened to them tell their gardens, the intimacy of this public space. Thanks to their testimonies, she created a «real» able to speak to all, to see a word of a particular color, that of a «family» in love with this poetic expanse between city and hill, shaded and green way, in a city so often squashed by the sun.
Compagnie la Poudrière has devised a sound system that, thanks to QR codes screen-printed on arboretum labels, will allow you to hear these stories, using your smartphone during your walks in the gardens. The system was first put in place at the end of last year. It is presented today in an enhanced version.
Daily, until 1 September 2024
Compagnie la Poudrière in partnership with Radio Alliance Plus, the class of the Conservatoire d'art dramatique de Nîmes, and the workshop Étant donné. Event subsidized as part of the Visual Arts Territory Residencies by the Drac and the Departmental Council of Gard and the City of Nîmes.
