    Wed. Fev. 4 | 6:30pm 
    Dir. Richard Linklater (2024). Cast: Guillaume Marbeck, Zoey Deutch, Aubry Dullin... Duration: 106 min.
    After years of writing for Cahiers du cinéma, Jean-Luc Godard comes to believe that the sharpest film criticism is a camera in hand. Shot on the streets of Paris with improvised dialogue and radical formal choices, the resulting film, Breathless, marks a defining moment in cinema history.

DANCE

  • bang bang! bang bang!
    Thursday, Feb. 26 | 7pm 
    By Manuel Roque, feat. Manuel Roque & Nils Levazeux
    bang bang is an ordeal. Involving a repetition of jumps and athletic patterns counted in 11, it demands exceptional concentration and physical commitment from the performers.
    The intensity of the work gradually reveals the combativeness, stamina, but also the flaws of the human performer. The rigor of the performance is accompanied by the perspiration. Keep jumping becomes at once absurd, poetic and political.
