News July-August 2022

Diving into our matter ?

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

This summer is going to be really hot! I mean of course in geopolitics and economics, but I will spare you my optimistic comments… The truth is that I can’t find the right words. Local utopianism needs a wave or two of multicolored mourning before it can recover!

And then, you know that our project Enterres-Encieux / Newtopia 10 is about Death and the states of being it provokes. Let us assume the suffering of loss. Loss of meaning, loss of confidence, loss of resources, loss of the presence of loved ones. How to experience falling, accompany, welcome…

The 3rd and 4th sessions of our inclusive project took Newtopia place at our friends’ sites, at the Rabouilleuse and also at the Centre Social de la Rabière. Take a look at the pictures of Newtopia 10.3 here: flic.kr/s/aHBqjzQXzD and of Newtopia 10.4 here: flic.kr/s/aHBqjzWv4u

Yes, death and utopia seem to be compatible and we are always looking for new ideas for our…macabre dances. Anyway, during the last Newtopia workshop in June, the team amazed me again with their creative outburst on the subject. I thank them for their enthusiasm that has been growing since January 2022!

Thanks also to our dear associative members for their constant support! Pictures of our festive general assembly here: flic.kr/s/aHBqjzWycQ

I myself will be working on our materials this summer in Greece, in partnership with the Municipality of Nikiti (Central Macedonia) which has already hosted us in 2021, with the theatrical residency Judith / The Separated Body.

Have a nice summer!
