Since 2009, the Plattform has accompanied a Franco-German exchange on the occasion of the Festival of Lights in Lyon, which was expanded in 2018 to a third country: Romania. Led by an artistic, technical and pedagogical team from the three countries, students and dancers from Lyon, Leipzig and Bucharest are working on a trinational project, which will be presented during the Festival of Lights in Lyon.

 

A first phase of work will take place in early October 2022 on the premises of the Lycée Branly: Supervised by a technical and pedagogical team, the students of the DNMADE of the Lycée Branly and the students in interactive technologies of the CINETiC Bucharest will imagine together the framework of the light installation and different scenarios in which the performers will be able to move. At the same time, the dancers of the Leipziger Tanztheater and the Désoblique Lyon training centre will work with choreographer Natacha Paquignon (Cie Corps au Bord, Lyon), to create the dance performance in this light installation.

 

Between the two phases of work, the students and dancers remain in contact remotely to continue working on the installation and performance.

 

At the beginning of December, all participants will meet again to carry out the installation that will be presented during the Festival of Lights, on December 8 and 9, 2022 at the Goethe-Institut Lyon.
