EN PISTE !
2023-2024
A participatory, inclusive and shared creation
ALL ON STAGE!
to open the horizon, to open the field of possibilities,
to HOPE, DREAM, IMAGINE,
…a shared tomorrow!
In 2023, Compagnie TESTUDINES and Association EMMA wished to create inclusive artistic workshops for children with disabilities and school difficulties linked to neurodevelopmental disorders.
And thus the EN PISTE! project was born.
EN PISTE! is the creation of a theatre and dance piece with the children at the helm of the adventure. They became photographers, directors, sound engineers, actors, dancers, scenographers… They were accompanied by three artists from the company: Peggy HUGON, Alice BOUNMY and Clara SERAFINI. The project began in early 2023 and reached its apotheosis on January 4th, 2024. To preserve a “trace,” a short film—witness to the entire adventure—was filmed throughout the project and will be released in March 2024.
FINAL CUT… or almost…
The inclusive EN PISTE! project concluded on an evening in January.
The night began with a photographic journey through the workshops of past months, followed by a performance—“Life Between the Words”, an adaptation of a piece by Benjamin Cognet, performed brilliantly by a group of participating children. The evening closed with the premiere screening of the short film documenting the entire adventure. The audience was immense— moved, impressed by the energy, the commitment, and the artistic generosity of the children.A flood of emotion!
