Delving into a Europe that is inventing new solidarities, the documentary performance created by Brussels-based artist and activist Anna Rispoli (invited to Les Tombées de la Nuit and the TNB festival in 2018) and Italian curator Martina Angelotti, delivers the radical, artistic, activist and human experiences of four European collectives.

The two artists travelled to Brussels, Budapest, Marseille and Rennes, where they collected the spoken material for a performance based on reality, meeting men, women and children who are taking charge of daily life rather than suffering through it, including women detained in the prison of Rennes, families and unaccompanied minors seeking asylum in Marseille, art professionals pooling their finances and needs, and children organising themselves to fight the environmental crisis. All these initiatives reflect the same desire to join forces and share with one another to better change the world.

All these stories produced a script that was then transformed into an engaging documentary that invites the audience to step into the shoes of the main characters. In this interactive performance, Anna Rispoli, Martina Angelotti and Céline Estenne (who collaborated in the writing) seek the opinion of spectators who are led to question the possibilities, as well as the limitations of the experiences recounted.
