Photographic and sound exhibition of the Compagnie L’Ouïe de l’œil

In all theaters, when the stage is deserted, between two performances or rehearsals, a lamp on a high foot is placed there: the ghost lamp. Regular, permanent, it is she who watches over when there is no one left.
This exhibition is a poetic waltz in three stages, the time to see, the time to listen and the time to say. Frédéric Denis (photographer) went to pose a Servant in various high places of shows in the Metropolis of Lyon, and produced this series of images. Jean-Michel Pirollet (composer) took hold of these images and, for each of them, composed a sound piece. And in a third time, Jean-Christophe Vermot-Gauchy (author and actor) sat down at his table to write from this visual and sound material.

To fully appreciate this exhibition, we recommend that you come with a mobile phone and headphones.

From October 6 to 26, 2022
Wednesday to Friday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Free admission.
Guided tour in the presence of a representative of the company Saturday October 15 at 11 a.m.

In all theaters, when the stage is deserted, between two performances, a lamp on a high foot is placed there. Regular, permanent, it is it who watches when there is no one. Legend has it that ghosts haunt theaters when they are empty, and that the Servant would be there to prevent them from taking up space. But can't we just believe the opposite? That thanks to this little night light, sometimes called a sentinel or "Servante" in french, a theater is never entirely in the shadows and thus the spirits can then play in turn and take over the stage? It is from this questioning, from this presence-absence that this project was born.
