Silent cinema

Poem in automatic writing about « Silent cinema »
In Saint-Michel-sur-Orge, at the Marcel Carné cinema, a group of local residents chose archival films of the town’s construction (collected by Cineam) to organize, under the guidance of Benoît Labourdette, an itinerant screening, telling the human story of the place, on the spot. We designed, me and the stage director Louise Moaty, a video installation to shoot live on stage of the opera “The cunning little vixen”, produced by the Arcal, released January 15, 2016 at the Maison de la Musique in Nanterre (France), on tour in 2016 and 2017. Calligraphy of bodies, crossing a history of cinema, between black and white. These workshops were preceded by training sessions, led by Benoît Labourdette, for youth workers.
