Danielle Chaperon

Conference

29.05.2016—11h00

Duration 2:00 – In french

As a bridge between art and the public, cultural outreach has become a profession. No cultural institution worthy of the name can do without it today. Theatres have often been pioneers in setting up support systems for spectators. But why do audiences need this type of support at all? On the path to what adventure? Towards what encounter?

These questions are particularly difficult in the case of the theatre: what play are we talking about (text or performance)? What culture is it part of (past culture or contemporary culture)? What experiences does it lead to (individual or collective)? In her lecture, Danielle Chaperon will bring up all the possible answers to these questions. After all, the organisers of the debates, meetings, visits and workshops staged throughout the seasons at our theatrical institutions are guided by numerous and sometimes contradictory visions.
