Entitled Le voyage dans la Lune (A Trip to the Moon), in homage to Georges Méliès, the magician of early cinema, it presents for the first time in Europe a wide selection of the artist's films, accompanied by a collection of storyboards, drawings, models and sculptures. Oeuvre de Marcel Dzama représentant plusieurs femmes vêtues de bleu en train de danser avec une grande lune lumineuse en arrière-plan.

Through two series of sculptures depicting bodies in motion and a collection of texts, Hélène Bertin invites us to join the dance, listen to the emotions and sensations that flow through us, and to let the rivers within us flow freely.

Her solo exhibition at La Criée, Pharmakon / Reboot unfolds around healing songs, gestures and thoughts. It is conceived as an ensemble in which video-performances, costume-partitions, drawing-writing, sound pieces and site-specific performances interact.

At the crossroads of documentary, science and science fiction, Biomimetic Stories projects new links that could develop in the near future between the city and nature, technology and biology. Combining real and virtual images, the work is divided into four forward-looking fictions, set in four Indian cities.

Some twenty characters, extravagant anthropomorphic sculptures, seated, lying down, standing, alone or in groups, occupy the space of the art center, transformed into a café/safe place: a facetious and striking picture of an offbeat society.

Boutros’s exhibition The Sun Is My Only Ally is completing its trajectory in the West, at La Criée Centre for Contemporary Art. Like the sun. For Rennes, Boutros is bringing together a group of poetically abstract works forming an environment – a geographic entity – in which private stories are interwoven with those of art, place and the course of history, time present with traces of the past and the components of reality with the alchemy of dreams.

With Le Cantique des oiseaux, Katia Kameli continues her inter-cultural journeyings and initiates direct contact with clay, a new material for her.

Its focus is the trope, a figurative or metaphorical use of a word or expression.

Often brushing up against the law, or institutions of power, the works in this exhibition amplify the global struggle towards female self-empowerment, and in the case of Ireland's historic fight for abortion rights against the Eighth Amendment in 2018, the right to bodily self-determination.

His work makes use of a range of media either material (photographs, books, performances, sculptures) or immaterial (interventions on the Net, narratives, rumours). Heir to both the Romantics and the Conceptualists, he practises an art of play, surprise, rhizomatics and circulation.

It aims to reflect on different ways of being by opening up and enacting distinct paths, not only through dissonance but also through contestation (and sometimes) through the break of meaning that happens with the embracing of the unknown.
