BlanContact show
After Re V Ivre (23 • 24), the Ensemble blanContact collective, created in 2007 to bring together professional artists and dancers with and without disabilities, returns to the Grand Théâtre with its new creation, Correspondances. Choreographers from Luxembourg and beyond are invited to create original artistic pieces that showcase the plurality of bodies, the richness of movement and the individuality of each performer. Each piece carries its choreographer’s distinctive style and tells a story of its own. And yet they all interact with each other. Connections emerge between image and music, movement and stillness, dancers and audience – challenging expectations and upending preconceptions.
Mardis littéraires (readings and discussion)
Nadège Sanou: Accorder les sons
Accorder les sons – a deeply intimate novel in which the writer, through fiction inspired by her real-life experiences, explores the complexity of living with a multiply handicapped child. The book tells the story of Léo, a heavily dependent young boy being raised by his father Damien after his mother abandoned the family. When Salomé comes into their lives, she discovers a daily routine shaped by care, medical appointments, doubts and moments of love that bind this atypical family together. The book invites questions about the role of caregivers, the fragility of family connections and the quiet strength which grows out of adversity. Without pathos, and with great sensitivity, Nadège Sanou gives voice to those whose voices are rarely heard, and sheds light on the often unseen reality of families living with disability.
Throughout the evening, she will read passages from her book and share reflections on the experiences that inspired the writing. The session will continue with a discussion, offering the opportunity to more deeply explore the themes addressed in the book and to engage in a dialogue about the issues of inclusion. This session, combining readings with discussion, introduces the audience to a sensitively written work, examining how we relate to language, to difference and to the multiple forms of human expression.
Nadège Sanou, who was born in Bobo‑Dioulasso in Burkina Faso and lives in Paris, works in the health and social sector. Her career has brought her into close contact with the issues surrounding dependence, vulnerability and the support of disabled people. She has also been a carer to her son-in-law, who suffers from trisomy; the experience profoundly affected the way in which she views parenthood and solidarity.
