Festival
of Strasbourg
13|14|15 AUGUST
Welcome Byzance
*
farse.strasbourg.eu *Join us this summer
*CLOSER TOGETHER
Street performance is creative,
adaptable and surprising. It has
helped us develop a public policy
of ‘moving forward’ in response to the
pandemic during Summer 2021.
While last year’s 100-odd performances in
the parks across the city helped us dream
and share powerful yet tender emotions
on eight different dates, the 2022 edition
will be back to its usual format, guided
by the theme of ‘closer together’.
If there were ever an event that brings
people closer together, it’s FARSe!
Walkabout performances, interactions
and narrations will help us look in the
same direction during this year’s promising
event.
Join us on 13, 14 and 15 August, at Place
Saint Thomas at the FARSe Crossroads or
Parc du Heyritz for FARSe for kids.
Let us get closer together during these
spectacular interludes in the heart
of the city.
Let us rediscover Strasbourg transformed
by the 130 participating artists.
And lastly, let us share another experience
together with the FARSe volunteers,
tourists from all over and residents
of Strasbourg for these three days of
celebration that will culminate in the
Grand Finale at Place Kléber.
Join us so we can get closer together!

Deputy Mayor responsible

Counter to keeping one’s
distance, leaving words left
unsaid, misunderstandings and
other snap judgements, counter to my
mistrust, your distrust, there is getting
out of the house, meeting someone new,
hitting the road, working on positive or
cautious relations between our poles
of existence.
There is FARSe.
Leaning on your shoulder. Taking an
interest in the details of your breathing
when you laugh. Getting goosebumps
from an acrobatic display. Noticing a
crease in someone’s skin, catching the eye
of a passer-by. Discovering the sensation
of a feather landing on my cheek.
You, the other, the one I don’t know, that
I’ve never met, who is no doubt foreign to
me and whose point of view I don’t share.
The one I wildly want to meet, despite my
own prejudices. FARSe is there for us to
cross paths. Humanity is never so great as
when it plays as a team.
So this summer, there are people to meet
and things to organise.
Because to be truly organised is to love
one another.
This summer, you can count on FARSe
to bring people closer together.

Artistic director of FARSe 2022

The volunteers
The FARSe community has helped the festival
become the success it is today.
This community is made up of women, men,
students, employed, unemployed and retired
people, artists, technicians, accountants,
young and old, who all share a passion for
events and human relations. Throughout the
festival period, this incredible team will be

experience the festival from the inside, witness the
artists’ nerves, their generosity, madness and emotion at
close quarters. Being a volunteer at FARSe can become a unique human
and artistic experience that is often full of emotion and unexpected joys!
At each venue, or at the Info Stand in Place Saint Thomas, don’t hesitate to
go up to them; they will be happy to help you on your festival journey.

Keep your eyes peeled for artists and performances that promise
to surprise you in the days leading up to the festival weekend.

TURNING
AWAY
In your daily life, do you
use your bike, your car?
Or do you prefer walking?
With inventiveness and
mischief, FARSe artists
pervert our everyday vehicles
and transport. Perverting in
the sense of overturning the
ways we get around the city,
either literally or through our
imaginations.

Fable of anticipation
Tonight, it will have been six
months since the world began
experiencing an oil shortage that
shut down all communication
networks. In a village in the foo-
thills of the French Alps, a small
group of people living together
discover life with a difference,
in their own way. But when they
happen upon a jerrycan full of
petrol, the fuel begins to smell
like perfume. Wonder Petrol is
a futuristic street performance,
a danced Circassian fable set to
music, which uses poetry and
derision to face a reality not
so far from our own, that of
the imminent end of the oil age.
With a crane towering over
them, the six characters will
face the vertigo of tomorrow
by questioning their dreams
and ambitions of yesterday.

13COMING
TOGETHER
In the street, artists reinvent
the limits of our everyday
spaces: performance spaces,
public spaces and flow spaces
in the city. These performances
invite you to switch places
with each other, to recognise
yourself while looking into
their eyes or holding hands.
Whether performing as a duo
or in a group, in a circle or
face to face, with 20 people or
several thousand, the desire
to come together broadens
our horizons.

Dance and circus arts
A touch of madness following the
contours of the street. An acrobat
and a dancer make their mark
energetically on a circle of grass,
inviting passers-by to pause and
take a breath of fresh air. The little
patch of green is reminiscent of
nature’s serenity, where you can
easily stray and lose sight of the
herd. This symbolic meadow then
becomes a battlefield then a play-
ground. A continuum somewhere
between dog and wolf, between
child and adult, between creative
and destructive urges, between
dance and circus arts. A story
to be enjoyed standing up while
lying on the grass.

Sound and poetry escape
On her 30th birthday, Frida
decides to abandon everything.
She leaves.
Without saying a word, without
knowing where or why, without
warning. She runs away.
She goes from encounter to
encounter, following her intuition
and the odd wink.
She listens to her desires and
follows them.
She avoids straight lines and
chooses detours with the risks
they entail. She goes where there
is light or silence.
She meets others ‘like her’.
Others who have felt the need to
sidestep. That vital impulse.
A whole community, actually.
Of runaways.
Between day 1 and your return,
where will you go Frida?

21TELLING
STORIES
TOGETHER
Beyond borders or beyond
the passage of time, we don’t
necessarily share the same
perspectives or experiences.
Yet in the street, sometimes I
bump into you. You share my
house; I met you at school; you
invited me to sit at your table.
Whatever our differences in
age, gender or background,
your story speaks to me. If you
tell it to me, maybe I’ll make it
mine.

with free-form dance, music

What are emotions for? Three
artists deliver a poetic act invol-
ving dance, acrobatics and music,
providing a sensitive response
to this question. The experience
shared with toddlers, who are free
to react as they will, with their pa-
rents seated around them, invites
everyone to form or strengthen
