This course proposes rediscovering the pleasure of playing. We will enter for a moment into the world of play when, we remember, hours no longer counted.

Everyone will cultivate their lack of skill in handling objects, emotions, words, and their ability to move, and then be led towards the tragicomic aspect of the resulting situations.

Flaws, feats, stupidity, intelligence, innocence, naivety, imbalance, failure, inadequacy, virtuosity, but above all authenticity will be encouraged.
