CE CULT2018/COOP1 Actes de Création et Dynamiques de Collaborations Croisées - Arts de la Scène. (ARGOS)

The ARGOS project intends to create the conditions for a new sharing of knowledge in the field of performing arts. It is based on an original collaboration between theatrical researchers, artists, students, cultural mediators and spectators. All of these participants will be gathered in communities to observe European creative processes on five fields: Belgium, France, Italy, Greece and Portugal. The mobility of these communities thus formed will make it possible to experience intercultural and inter-professional dialogue and to reinforce the skills and abilities of each participant, the hypothesis being that the experience of otherness and physical and symbolic displacement is a lever for transforming the members of these communities. During the 30 months of the ARGOS project, the academic, artistic and cultural partners are implementing five experiments that each give a place and a different role to these communities. It is a question of witnessing strong and singular artistic gestures on diversified European sites by experiencing the creative processes according to two great modes of relationship: the face-to-face and the digital. Indeed, some members of these communities will attend and participate directly in the creation process, when others will be associated by a streaming and live connection. With these two modes of presence, communities test different forms of observation: integrated observation with Teatro O Bando (Portugal) where the viewers are engaged in the sharing of a place and a time community; the participant observation with Chiara Guidi of the Societas Rafaello Sanzio (Italy and Greece), where the viewers act directly on the creative process; virtual observation with the National Theater of Brittany (France), where the viewers are equipped with virtual reality headphones and live the rehearsals in immersion; the creative observation with Au bout du plongeoir (France), where the viewers seize the materials and documents used by the artistic team to imagine a transmedia story of their experience; intercultural observation with Moussem (Belgium and Lebanon), where viewers are encouraged to experience the diversity of their cultural roots in perceptual practice.
