Le show sur l'effondrement qui n'aura pas lieu

This performance arose from a series of imponderables and accidents, in the image of the Bureau de l’APA's work. Following the plot of the artist's book L’Effondrement: compte-rendu by Stéphanie Béliveau and Laurence Brunelle-Côté, Le show sur L’Effondrement qui n’aura pas lieu is a group performance based on a text by Alain-Martin Richard, who kept a journal for several months around the idea of our civilization's collapse, but also about all our daily collapses. This is a hybrid stage performance in which the text is put under tension in the space by way of poetic actions.
