Overview

The Tempête (Storm) project stems from TALM students’ desire to practice, explore and experience performance based on current ecological, political and ethical issues. It proposes two approaches. One questions reappropriation of the Middle Ages through images of the Witch, the Eunuch and the District by performance with a political, feminist and ecological perspective (Chloé Maillet, TALM-Angers). The other proposes to examine bonds and attachments to the ground, to the Earth, to animals and to others through performance with an ethical perspective: How these ties are unwoven and rewoven in everyday life, with an aim to repair them, to maintain and invent them. (Rachel Rajalu, TALM-Le Mans).
