While coming to realization with certain failed utopias, this session questions the possibility of “living together”. Ane Lan stages himself as various women of the world and he raises questions of the images and ideas of ethnicity and multiculturalism within the concept of a global economy. Diego del Pozo Barriuso presents a piece about exchange, affective work and the relationship between economy and affection. Erik Moskowitz et Amanda Trager put into doubt the notion of utopia. Along with Joan Jonas, the characters sing their dialogue in a space where each object is represented by a photo. Pierre Coulibeuf presents a parody, based on choreographed moves by Angelin Preljocaj, in Rudy Ricciotti's Black Palace. Characters break the rules of choreography and cinema and fantasy puts reality to test.

We leave for Beirut with an “icon”, an actress, who for us embodies cinema: Catherine Deneuve, She meets the famous Lebanese actor, Rabih Mroue. Together they will cross the war-struck regions. Their presence and their exchange will, we hope, bring back beauty to our eyes. An unpredictable and unexpected adventure then begins...
