France, Loches |
Description:The Rossignolet [Troglo] Theater, based in Loches, a city of "Art and History," has been committed to sharing art and culture with as many people as possible since 2013. This former troglodyte dwelling, in the heart of the rock, has been renovated into a modular theater to offer the public an eclectic and high-quality program.The theater hosts cultural events (shows, concerts), artist residencies, conferences, and exhibitions throughout the year. In this stone cocoon, an extraordinary place, the goal is to create human-scale atmospheres between a work and an audience. The charm of this troglodyte place contributes to the spectator's escape. The Rossignolet Theater is today a central cultural center of Southern Touraine. Description of the ad CALL FOR PROJECTS – Residency at the Théâtre du Rossignolet The residency aims to: • Provide a workspace for professional companies and structures or those in the process of becoming professional in the field of live performance (theater, dance, circus, puppetry, live music, etc.). • Encourage creations linked to the territory and its specificities. • Offer artistic and technical support. Conditions of reception: • Duration: Between 5 and 10 days, in one or two sessions. • Financial support: A grant of 1500 euros per residency paid at the end of the residency. • Expenses to be paid by the artists: Travel and meals. • Accommodation: Possibility of hosting in a local home. • Provision: Access to workspaces and the technical platform. • End of residency: Mandatory, with the possibility of future programming subject to validation by the commission. Projects must fall within one or more of the following themes: 1. Memory(s) and Heritage(s): Projects must draw inspiration from local history, reawaken forgotten stories, and revive popular traditions and key figures from the region. Each creation must offer a contemporary reading of the past, bringing it into resonance with the present. 2. Landscape and Nature: A reflection on the imprint of time and the transformations of the landscape will be expected. Artists may explore the relationship between humans and their environment, emphasizing the notion of passage: between city and countryside, underground and above ground, preserved nature and inhabited spaces. The troglodyte architecture of the territory may be a source of inspiration to question these transitions and interactions. 3. Citizen Participation: Proposals must encourage the involvement of residents, the collection of testimonies, and intergenerational dialogue. Particular attention will be paid to projects that promote local identities and foster exchanges within the community. 4. Innovation and rurality: A contemporary approach to live performance in rural areas will be favored.
