"Ce ConTexte" is an intimate, introspective event, under the public's shower of attention. Text, voice and body bathe in this attention, we can smell odours. Sharing the frame of mind which derives from the performance. Sharing this experience becomes the show in itself, and this show reflects the context on the performer. Struggling towards the continuous unknown. Following one's body's desires, without getting in the way. Delivering an oral report of what is happening now. Speaking a lot, making the most of the power of the language, tickling its boundaries to take out some weight and get down to the body, letting it speak. Sharing the desire and failure to express what we cannot. Without being betrayed by clothes, merely the bones. Trying out the stage as a special place, outside of everyday life. A place for confession, a shower, a bed. A place where we can feed on awareness.
"Text means Tissue; but whereas hitherto we have always taken this tissue as a product, a ready-made veil behind which lies, more or less hidden, meaning (truth), we are now emphasizing, in this tissue, the generative idea that the text is made, is worked out in a perpetual interweaving; lost in this tissue - this texture - the Subject unmakes himself, like a spider dissolving in the constructive secretions of her web."
Roland Barthes, Le plaisir du texte, 1973

Venues and times vary for each artist
Over the course of the 9 days of the festival, the Artists' Bubbles are special moments when spectators and artists can talk.
The artists present their references and sources of inspiration as a way of understanding their artistic world and give an insight into their background (other works by the artist, influences, culture…)
This is yet another way for the spectator to make the most of Rencontres//03.

The same video material is sent to each invited artist one month and a half prior to the festival.
Each can use it anyway they want to come up with a spontaneous artistic act in return: extension, disruption, diversion… of the movie clip.
The open artistic act can be a text, a video, a photograph, a collective or individual proposal on stage, etc.
Each artist or artistic team will show their act during the closing night of this third edition, on Saturday, May 28, 2011.
