Juggling and Science: The Field of Possibilities

Since 2022, the Maison des Jonglages and the Atelier du Plateau have been working together to co-produce and present collaborative works as part of evenings dedicated to experiments in the arts and sciences. The public is invited to enter a laboratory where researchers and artists will dialogue and share their practices and knowledge through new forms of art and scientific research.

Fear of the other

Dimas Tivane is a juggler, musician and dancer.
Frédérique Fogel is an anthropologist.
Is their meeting arranged?
Es it a reproduction or the result of multiple encounters?
Right from the start, she’s troubled by the fear of the other.
Who is the other? Who’s scary? Who’s afraid?
How do you deploy this fear to deal with it?
By pausing for a few moments in the course of our daily lives?
In dialogue, exchanging testimonies, feelings, images, sounds, noises, words?
Putting situations we’ve experienced end to end, edge to edge?
Perhaps we could start by reversing our roles, to play out Dimas’ story…

Gossiping Animals

What is an animal? What is it to be human? Who is the other? And why is this so?

Neuroscience teacher-researcher Hélène Courvoisier and zoomorphic juggler Fabrizio Solinas were brought together to ask questions nobody had asked them, and give answers nobody wanted.
