Creation for the Acta Fabula Company of a visit/workshop on the theme of fashion in connection with the “Textile Follies” exhibition, as part of the 2013 Portes du Temps at the Palais de Compiègne. Conception and realisation of a transversal visit of the palace with the presentation of fashion icons from the history of this place such as Queen Marie Antoinette and her milliner Rose Bertin, the dressmaker Mme Raimbault and Joséphine de Beauharnais or Charles Worth with Pauline de Metternich. The roles are interpreted by Géraldine Moreau – Geoffrey, actress. The workshop focuses on the design of mixed media textile samples inspired by nature for the motifs. A mannequin with a Second Empire crinoline is dressed in a dress made up of all these samples created by each child who thus participates in the creation of this “textile madness”.

This creation was presented during the Heritage Days in the Palais de Compiègne.

“Les Allumeurs” is a group made up of two visual artists assisted by a team of contributors whose concern is to develop “total” creations in situ with a participative tone.

The participants were able to meet the person in charge of the fauna and flora present on the “petite ceinture” 5 minutes from their school. They took part in a botanical initiation by making a herbarium of the nature present in their environment. Thus they were able to show their school the plant world that surrounds them, by pasting their plates on the walls of the courtyard, which have since been repainted…

These creations were submitted to the “Jardi’stiques” competition at Floralies 2014.

This project was born out of the desire to pay tribute to the residents of Rexpoëde, the White Butterflies, who have been involved in the creation of Jardins Barges since its inception.

To date, four meetings have been held: RDV 1, the creation of the Mala 800 Zoo t-shirt, to introduce this environmental project by tackling a street art technique, stencilling, with the transmission of its history. RDV 2, the realization of a treasure hunt in the city of Maladrerie, classified as a heritage of the 20th century, to discover its artistic and other riches and thus give the desire to preserve them. RDV 3, the creation of the orchard, to create together a common living space where it would be good to rest and in season to taste its fruits. RDV 4, with the creation of a monumental nature game, “Victory Garden”, created using the graffiti stencil technique, on the slab of the former Joyeux car park. It is also an educational tool made available to the various structures in the neighbourhood. Coming soon, season 2 of the “Mala 800 Zoo” project, with new events!

Thanks to Marie Sanyas and her team at Auber kids tv for their support of the Mala 800 Zoo project.

Creation for the Acta Fabula Company, within the framework of the 2014 Doors of Time at the Palais de Compiègne, of a visit/workshop on the theme of sculpture, in connection with the exhibition “Carrier Belleuse, Rodin’s master”. (More..)
Creation for the Acta Fabula Company, as part of the 2014 Portes du temps at the Palais de Compiègne, of a visit/workshop on the theme of sculpture, in connection with the exhibition “Carrier Belleuse, le maître de Rodin”. Conception and realization of a visit of the exhibition and the flats of the second empire of the palace, with the presentation of the gesture of this sculptor Carrier Belleuse, famous artist in the 19th century today forgotten. The visit is disturbed by the appearance/ disappearance of Carrier Belleuse as a ghost hunted by an atypical researcher of the perfect gesture, Emerico Pandolo, who asks the public to help him in his quest. These roles were conceived and interpreted by Luca Lomazzi, actor and photographer. The workshop takes place in the form of clay exercises linked to techniques used by Carrier Belleuse seen during the visit. Emerico Pandolo asks to attend the workshop with a pantomime warm-up of the hands before the exercises and then takes close-up photographs of the participants’ hands in action, presented at the end of the workshop in the form of a slide show. These photographs by Luca Lomazzi could be presented in the form of a video-projected slide show as part of the heritage days at the Imperial Palace of Compiègne.

Creation for the Acta Fabula Company, within the framework of the Portes du temps 2015 at the Palais de Compiègne, of a workshop/visit on the theme of dance, in connection with the exhibition “Napoleon I or the legend of the arts”. (More..)
Creation for the Acta Fabula Company, as part of the 2015 Gates of Time at the Palais de Compiègne, of a workshop/visit on the theme of dance, in connection with the exhibition “Napoleon I or the legend of the arts”. Sylvie De la Côte, ordinary chamberlain of the Palais de Compiègne, was commissioned by Napoleon I himself to welcome groups of young French people to discover the Palais. His imperial majesty wanted to get to know his youth, the future of the nation, better. To start the day, Sylvie De la Côte leads the audience to her dance class, proposed by the “God of dance” Mr Auguste Vestris (interpreted by the professional dancer Pierre François Dollé). He teaches them the musketeer salute, the curtsy and the French quadrille, the basics for Napoleonic youth. To continue the day, Sylvie De la Côte asked the public to help her check that certain works were present in the exhibition organised in honour of Napoleon I, who returned to the Palais with the imperial court in 1811. To reward them, she offered them an exceptional visit of the Palace flats with her accomplice Mr Auguste Vestris (Pierre François Dollé), who, as a wink to the dance of the time, interpreted a burlesque dance with the character of Harlequin, then tragedy with “Psyche” to finish with an Egyptian masquerade. To close this day at the gates of time, the audience is led into the ballroom where together they dance the French quadrille learned in the morning.
