Dear Spectrites,
and here, the info about the last LASER of the season in
Paris (after that we hibernate!)
All the Best

*"Human Psyche and Plant"*about the project */Résistance
Naturelle/*//
Epigenetic heritage: Traumas, inscribed in the human psyche,
are transmitted over several generations ; those that plants
encounter are legible in their bodies, sometimes beyond the
original plant.
Can a plant be an indicator of socio-political ratio of
power in a given territory?
Taking as a starting point the right for forgetfulness,
fictionnal and visceral stories, and the anticipatory
trauma, Abdessamad El Montassir explores how imaginary
memories, not based on actual lived facts, can build and
legitimate a real memory. Simultaneously, he reflects on how
those stories can affect citizens social behaviours and how
they can be used for historicisation.
The artist uses as a metaphor and metonymy a plant, the
daghmous, its evolution and resistance to the stress it
faced in its environment, an environment that it shares with
the human society in Western Sahara.

supported by La Diagonale Paris-Saclay) // *"Activated
Body",* about the project */À la Verticale de Soi./*
In some sports competitions, to "have a handicap" is a sign
of excellence. For some of us, wearing a technological
equipment is to be "augmented".
Professional dance, still largely perceived as the place of
the "perfect" body, is however opening up, for many years
now, to all kinds of bodies: smaller, thiner, fatter,
taller, less fit, awkward, less virtuoso, older but the
equipment of the body often takes the form of a constraint.
/À la Verticale de Soi/is reversing the proposal.At the
border between art and research, performing art and
technology, the project is based on the design of a solution
to support an inclusive dance and the development of a new
equipment for dancers with reduced mobility.
The choreography includes robotic prototypes with costumes
and dance to propose a new futuristic vision about handicap.
Invisible, the supports between the beings, the objects and
the environment allow to turn difficulties into ability.
The scientific research is focused on the study and design
of equipment based on soft robotics. It consists of flexible
elements articulated by under-dimensioned pneumatic
actuators. This approach intends to develop supports for
dancers with reduced mobility that are light and safe. The
dancer with reduced mobility can hence move without being
blocked.
This project is carried by the Mobilis-Immobilis Cie (M.
Passedouet) and the LISV Research Laboratory. It has
received the support of the Diagonale Paris-Saclay, UVSQ and
the University Paris-Saclay.
