spectator
This term also means "spectator". This is how our language is conceived; we must never forget it.
The one who witnesses a thing, whatever it may be, who sees it with the eyes of the body or with those of the mind.
This is how the Littré dictionary defines it. And to continue:
He or she who watches, observes without acting.
I write, I play, I stage both for and against him, her, the spectator. To be his mirror, mine through his eyes.

I insist here on the value that I attach to arbitrariness as the salvation of poorly fruitful creative situations offered by apparent logic.
While looking for the solution, I'm suffocating in the Web and the 2-dimensional page. I hope for a third one for a non-linear narrative art.
I don't care about the emotional and social lives of my contemporaries. Finally, if you allow it, I degenerate in peace!
A walk backwards towards the birth of a collective improvisation based on the participatory performance Iconicum given to the Generator.
The principle of the "Iconicum" workshop is to improvise from compositions reconstituted live from master paintings or photographs.
I'm not going to tell you what it says, because I hope it doesn't say anything, nothing that's being said anyway. No stories.
In this performance workshop, it is a question of being totally actor and fully spectator, artist, everyday individual as well as researcher.
