Several projects presented this year address issues surrounding loss. Faced with the complexity and immensity of grief, many artists of this edition propose that we come together to find comfort and meaning in adversity. By bringing forward the echoes between un-nevering and Lost Together, Claudel Doucet, artistic director of the OFFTA, invites festival-goers and artists to discuss the notion of sharing within their work.

BACK-TO-BACK CONVERSATIONS
Three back-to-back conversations allow this year’s artists and members of the programming committee to share the ideas and mechanisms behind their performances. These discussions will progress throughout the week, weaving together diverse perspectives. It is the opportunity to foster a dialogue between the propositions that are part of our programming, while allowing threads to emerge between the different artists present.

CONVERSATIONS
For the OFFTA, LA SERRE – arts vivants sets up meetings that profit to the development of discussions around the practice of the artists presented at the festival, as well as to the question of live art at large.
