L’Homme aux cent yeux (revue)

The new “revue” (show) L’Homme aux cent yeux * – in a nod to its glorious ancestors of the 30s and to the spirit of the Music Hall – proposes an annual programme of live interventions, open to all kinds of artistic creation (acoustic, filmic, choreographic, etc.), by artists invited to occupy the exhibition spaces in two phases. The first (la revue) will consist in evening events during the ongoing exhibitions, with a performative play specially created by an artist for each occasion. The second (la grande revue) will take place once during the year, in between exhibitions, when the spaces are empty and awaiting the next installation. For this event – the acme of the “revue” – all the invited artists will gather and propose a follow-up to their first intervention.
These two forms of intervention will enable the invited artists to experiment with new pieces in different contexts and in direct relationship with the public.blic.

* L’Homme aux cent yeux (revue) is a reference to Argus, the all-seeing giant in Greek mythology with a tragic  – and beautiful – destiny.
