Variations orientalistes
Parallèle — Pôle de production international pour les pratiques artistiques émergentes
For these Variations orientalistes, a series of stage interventions conceived as a review, Sandra Iché suggested to four collaborators, Mary Chebbah, Renaud Golo, Pascale Schaer and Vincent Weber, to go on stage and say: "I went to Lebanon and in Lebanon, I saw this and that", whereas they have never actually been there. A critical fictional framework whereby fantasies specific to the bodies of these four Europeans appear, made up of the orientalist legacy and its contemporary renewals. Through these potential Lebanons – made up of stories, images, sounds, dances -, we examine how our representations of otherness, stories and territories are manufactured, depending on whether we choose to stop them or experience their movement.
