Between Bodies & Walls

 

Collective experience

Saturday 16 – Sunday 17 September 2023

16h00 — 22h00

 

“When a house wakes up from a long sleep, sometimes surprising things happen.”

 

Between Bodies & Walls is a project built around the historical house of Les Passagées. The Heritage Days seemed to be the ideal moment to share with a wider public the personal and intimate history of this house between 1904, when it was built, and 2023. The house as an organic body of bricks, stones and  emotional charges that have passed through it. A house as a landscape of time.

 

For the occasion we gathered artists, poets, historians, creative chefs and sensitive souls to explore its traces and stories. A multi-sensory installation outside the house, a way of staying in touch with the neighbourhood and making people feel this place rather than just see it.
