Northern courtyard of the `Herderbaus´ of the university.
Access Habsburgerstr. 114-116, 79106 Freiburg.
Admission on donation basis.
Event cooperated with the Archaeological Collection,
from the university of Freiburg & supported by the
Cultural Office (Kulturamt) - City of Freiburg.
Ensemble Nuage Fou's new performance project is a sensory experience
centered around a musical sound installation.
The inner courtyard of the 'Herderbaus' as the location of the performance
poses the question of where we are, inside - outside or in a space in between?
ALL DANCES! ALL SOUNDS! and vibrates: bodies, emotions and structures,
on the border between dream and stranger, day and night, where we can
approach our disappointments and our hopes.

in ADRAR - open air in the desert
Festival organised with the support of the
Algerian Ministery of Culture and Local authorities
in Adrar and the Knights of stage Association for Performing Arts.
Support by the Cultural Office (Kulturamt) of
the City of Freiburg.
Prelude for a smile, with text fragments from the little prince by Saint-Exupéry,
is a performance project about the dialogue between a diversity of worlds!
We imagined a performance especially for the desert, with dialogue as
the theme for this festival. The construction of a center with stones, "planet" dancers,
a little girl little prince, St.Exupéry violinist becoming the fox, the sounds of the
universe and the meeting of all these worlds.
We are proud to have received the jury's award and to have touched
an African audience.

12€/ 20€ support
Project supported by a grant from the
Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts of Baden-Württemberg.
How can they make this strange rigid line dance ?
What spaces of play emerge between the bodies, the forms and everything ?
A floating, tense, rigid, weightless, ... living distance for a poetic dialogue
with the cello, the spectator and the space.
The current situation of spatial distancing questions more than ever the relationship
between us humans. In a real moment of live performance, can we still listen
to this space in between and create intimacy ?
