About
(Pas si) Fragile! – the Next Performance Art Generation, the biennial springboard showcasing young artists involved in performance art, is back this spring.
With a different format for each edition of the festival, the audience gets to meet emerging artists who have recently graduated – or are about to graduate – from visual arts schools in Wallonia-Brussels. This year, these schools are La Cambre, ISAC, ERG, Master danse, ARTS2 (Mons) and the Académie des Beaux-Arts de Tournai (AC’T).
This new edition will take place at Studio Thor and its surroundings and consists of a public programme of 10 performances on 25 April, from 5pm to 11pm.

The 10 performances at a glance
Naya Alezina invites us into a state of prolonged falling, a perceptual slide towards the depths, passing through text-matter and the crawling of a body that stirs and distorts the gestures of celebrities – through a dark, stripped-down space lifted from below.
Garance Buxtorf explores writing as movement, through poems written on the mist of a window and listened to individually on headphones.
Selim Clérin proposes to challenge physical learning and educational systems through collective and participatory practice: from familiar arrangements to unfamiliar ones.
For many hours, Yuna Choi undoes one dress to make another: in this process stress, anxiety and expectation are expressed.
Garance Debert embodies various domestic objects, in the manner of an internal and polymorphous cabaret, exploring the question of the ability to inhabit one’s body.
Plume Ducret plays with her accomplice, folding a sheet of paper to connect with soothing territories: how can comfort be a resource for resistance?
Pierre Gosée, in a kind of ‘product demonstration’ of a cognitive visualisation interface, blurs the line between innovation, commerce and fiction.
Maël Keppenne writes a text in real time, which is projected, where intimacy and eroticism heat up before our eyes, between text, body and desire.
Émilie Masson uses live drawing and folklore in public spaces to question memory, transmission and the place we are granted or denied.
Vittoria Toscana invites us to an immersive sound performance, where dance, light, sound and architecture interact, aiming to transport the audience into an heterotopic moment.
