Twinz'ARts - We tell you everything... or almost !
Par LN, samedi 21 avril 2007 à 23:31 :: Eufrophonie :: #41 :: rss
Videos, music, theater, photographies, poetry, street arts - all means are good for an explosive meeting around one theme : interculturality, or to use a word less barbarous, the interbreeding of cultures.
For the Europe Day, on the 9th of may 2007, young European artists come to meet us in an uncommon place : the Emergency Theater, located in the basement of Roguet Foundation.
They’re coming from Heidenheim, Sankt Pölten, Rubi, Southwark and Santo Tirso ; names that you may know, indeed these are the cities which decided to marry Clichy by the sacred bounds of twinning !
From this union were born several exchange projects, regular meetings and genuine friendship between citizens open to the world. For them it’s already obvious that we are homo-sapiens before being French, English or Spanish (or even franco-portuguese or rumano-austrian, if ever this is the way to say it…).
This is the common similarity that links all of us together and brings us rights and duties, however it is a matter of fact not so clear in the mind and spirit of some people. Politicians or simple passers-by , it is sometimes alarming to see how hard they try to separate dish towels from napkins and spoons from forks and provide us big drawers in which it is our duty to fit not to mess the bright order of their beautiful kitchen.
Nevertheless, say it high and loud, what prevent people from living together is their damned stupidity and not their differences.
Europe is (was?) a great project - knowing each other and lending a hand so that everybody will come through with something better, this makes sense. Unfortunately, one can feel today that all this is a bit slipppy, and in France also we find it hard to take corners well to round the cape of “there-will-never-be-enough-for-everybody-I-am- not-happy” ; but let’s spare to understand the sources of the inconsequence of nowadays society projects.
So, what is to be done when it’s slipping ? Maybe take back the wheel, not too roughly, and lead our ship to direct and simple mutual exchanges in a common language : the language of arts which touches soul and sensitiveness.
The young generation (let’s say those born between 1975 and 1990 ; others can stay with us on this blog!) grew up with the world as a focal point - thanks to charter airline companies and internet – and far from mistrusting it, they absorbed the culture of those strangely close human beings who live abroad.
And what does it creates ? Musics that you can’t define, dances which borrows their moves to the five continents, forms that wake up curiosity and find the way to talk to us without we notice it.
Those mixes of styles don’t happen without patience ; then artists have a lot to teach us about how to live together…
But what are they talking about by the way ? Certainly about a self-quest, maybe of discontents, why not about the fear of the future, eventually about hope and above all about love, always !
With Twinz’Arts it is the occasion to dream, to dance, to have fun, to discover, to be amazed, in a nutshell open our mind and being curious ; it is a first step, not very complicate although necessary if we want indifference to end ; after that evening it will still be time to reflect.
If since today you feel like being actors of this project, join us in its preparation !
