Three workshops lead up to an open invitation to improvise with the festival as concert. The last four hours of the Sunday 14 at Instal 10 were devoted to presentations devised during the three workshops. The material conditions (time, space, facilities…) were the instruments. From there anything could happen.

A spectacular musical show which discusses the representation of a nation state, its characters and history. A learning play on myth construction and its reproduction.
