Project of the partner city Lyon with the “Platform for German-French Art” as well as Centre de Formation Désoblique, Lyon, Physical Theatre MOVEO, Barcelona, and Tanz-Zentrale Leipzig

The project (De)constructing was funded by the Saxon State Ministry of Justice and for Democracy, Europe and Equality, by Sparkasse Leipzig as well as by the Office for International Cooperation of the City of Leipzig.

The project De(constructing) combined dance performance with light and sound design as well as stage design. The performers from France (Centre de Formation Désoblique), Germany (Tanz-Zentrale Leipzig) and Spain (Physical Theatre MOVEO) brought with them different artistic approaches, languages and cultural backgrounds. From this, trinational groups emerged with a shared physical language, which interacted alternately with the light and stage design over the course of the evening. In December 2024, the project was presented at the Fête des Lumières in Lyon. In February 2025, the dancers presented their project in the third participating city: Barcelona.

Lyon has been a partner city of Leipzig since 1981.

Fils de Créa
© Fils de Créa

Fils de Créa is a French collective of artists, craftspeople and technicians whose aim is to realise every artistic and cultural project in a creative, social and responsible way. With seven permanent members who complement one another, the collective works in synergy on both creative and technical levels. This allows even the most daring and diverse projects to be conceived, managed and brought to life. As the name suggests, Fils de Créa (Sons of Design/Creation) is a laboratory for artistic creation. It engages deeply with the issues of today’s world and, in particular, with the environment, which forms the basis of all its work. Fils de Créa uses urban space to create beauty and poetry through unexpected means, challenging our intelligence with an exuberant creativity that is always relevant and elegant. For this project, Adrien Bertrand, designer, illustrator and set designer, Marion Chauvin, designer, visual artist and set designer, Richard Fontaine, lighting technician and programmer, and Jérémie Furno, sound composer, are once again working together, combining their skills and expertise to propose an innovative, impactful and meaningful project.

“In memory of Jean-Philippe Corlin, our colleague and friend, who left us far too soon.”
