THE PLACE
At the invitation of the ‘Dramaturgie sonore au théâtre’ research chair at the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi (UQAC), the Musée (du théâtre) opened its doors from 7 to 9 September in the theatre studio of the Pavillon des Arts.
The event was part of the Entre-deux section of the ManiganSes festival of puppets and manipulations, whose artistic director this year was Jean-Paul Quéinnec, a professor at the Chair. It also benefited from an institutional partnership with the Pari sur l’Imaginaire, a festival showcasing the work of art students and attracting a large number of professionals from the region and the general public. The Museum was open to the public for the 3 days from 2pm to 7pm. With this project, we invited the public to manipulate words, images and sounds in a set-up inspired by Heiner Müller’s Hamlet Machine.
