La même chose mais pas tout à fait pareille
Anne-Sophie Turion
What if, for the length of a show, we tried to become truly available? La même chose mais pas tout à fait pareille turns the usual participatory format on its head. No spectacular staging, no grand narrative: Anne-Sophie Turion makes the audience the quiet heart of the action. Each person receives a personal score, follows their own path, influences the paths of others. A gentle and precise experience of what “being together” means, in an age when everything moves too fast.

Action(s) spécifique(s)
Rather than keeping our heads down in front of our screens, Anne-Sophie Turion invites school groups (Jean Moulin Middle School) and university students (Paris Cité University) to look up together through theater and reading workshops. Isn’t being together—listening to ourselves and to others—one of the most powerful aspects of the performing arts?
