Le MEETUP 8: Who even are you?
January 31, 2026, 15h30-20h00
École Jeannine Manuel
with Ada Deschanel
Adolescence is often described as something we grow out of. Yet it is a structure we grow around: not a phase we exit, but a layer we carry. It is where the self becomes visible, judged, public—where desire meets shame and small moments leave lasting marks.
Le MEETUP 8 approaches adolescence as a living structure that continues to shape how we perform, relate, regulate emotion, and imagine what comes next.
Past events
Le MEETUP 7: Are we safe here?
Friday, November 21, 2025 @ Michael’s house
Safety is never neutral. Naming a space “safe” draws boundaries, redistributes risk, and shapes bodies and behavior. This MEETUP explored how safety is constructed, enforced, and experienced—and what risks it may quietly permit under the promise of protection.
Le MEETUP 6: Are you ok?
Friday, September 16, 2025 @ Hôpital La Pitié-Salpêtrière with Yanis Tamzali
For this MEETUP, we slowed it down. Inside a hospital, we examined health beyond diagnosis—mental, bodily, relational. Through role-play and conversation, vulnerability became collective, care was reimagined, and participants left with the feeling of having been seen differently.
Le MEETUP 5: On se date?
Friday, April 11, 2025 @ The Window, in collaboration with Les Yeux La Bouche and Alaïs Diop
Le MEETUP 5 examined contemporary dating—its speed, scripts, and reduction of bodies to images. Rejecting profiles and phones, we staged an immersive alternative built on waiting and uncertainty. Through objects and face-to-face encounters, participants explored desire, memory, and identity, restoring the fragile, essential value of the unknown.
Le MEETUP 4: Beyond the Extraordinary
Friday, January 31, 2025 @ Tesson Project Space with Benjamin Delaveau
Le MEETUP 4 addressed a world shaped by climate disasters, pandemics, wars, and upheaval. As narratives of stability fracture, we examined what dominant stories exclude and how this fuels anxiety. Together, we explored whether new forms of storytelling might help us live with instability as a shared and unavoidable reality.
Le MEETUP 3: The Grip of Power
Sunday, November 24, 2024 @ Comptoir Club with Rachad Nasr
This MEETUP examined how trauma shapes political power and collective memory. We explored how historical pain is instrumentalized to justify violence and normalize exceptionalism. Together, we asked how memory, storytelling, art, and solidarity might open pathways toward healing, resistance, and the imagining of futures beyond inherited suffering.
Le MEETUP 2: The Dancefloor
Friday, September 27, 2024 @ Tesson Project Space with Ismael Kabb
For Le MEETUP 2, we approached the dance floor as a social practice. A space where bodies blur, time falters, and belonging is negotiated in motion. Both refuge and reckoning, it reveals who is seen, who fades, and how music, silence, and movement shape connection, exclusion, and collective presence.
Sunday, May 26, 2024 @ Aurélie’s house with Gabriel Chemery, Ivan Grassi, George Baddour, and Charalampos Potzidis
Le MEETUP 1: Belonging
Belonging is practiced, not assumed. Food rituals choreograph proximity, care, and recognition, shaping who feels at home and who remains peripheral. This MEETUP examined how meals create bonds while encoding norms of participation, difference, and debt.
