Jean-Baptiste Perret—Le Sorbier des oiseleurs

Jean-Baptiste Perret, The Bird Catchers' Rowan Tree (from the installation Practices for Reducing Misfortune)

Echoing the exhibitions Au fort les âmes sont, Mère, We, Sea, and the film They Parlaient Idéale, presented respectively at the Mucem, the Centre de la Vieille Charité, and the [mac] Musée d’art contemporain, actoral and multidisciplinary artist Laure Prouvost have jointly designed two days of events at the heart of the festival, on September 26 and 27. The program includes readings, short films, performances, and meetings, designed to resonate with themes dear to Laure Prouvost and as an extension of the exhibition itineraries.

A man makes a bird call and calls out into the fog. Focusing on this craft, The Bird Catchers' Rowan Tree poetically explores the traditional methods of communication used in the Massif Central: shepherds, leading their flocks through thick fog, reassured the farms below by producing clearly identifiable whistles.
