Apr\u00e8s une premi\u00e8re \u00e9dition qui avait fait du m\u00e9lange des arts sa boussole, Extravagances reprend ses quartiers \u00e0 Saint-Jean-du-Gard du 4 au 6\u00a0septembre. Pendant trois jours, le festival entend de nouveau faire du village un terrain de jeu culturel, de la salle Stevenson au march\u00e9 couvert, en passant par Maison Rouge. Avec une \u00e9volution\u00a0: cette ann\u00e9e, l\u2019entr\u00e9e se fait \u00e0 prix libre et conscient.<\/p>\n

Le vendredi donnera le ton. Apr\u00e8s le vernissage des installations V\u00e9nus Tour<\/i> de Madely Schott et Paysages<\/i> de Margaux Compte-Mergier, Bakir fera r\u00e9sonner ses rythmiques \u00e9lectroniques nourries du Maghreb et du Moyen-Orient, avant un DJ set de Furioza. Le lendemain, th\u00e9\u00e2tre, th\u00e9\u00e2tre de papier, clowns et films de Charlot se succ\u00e9deront avant France Empire<\/i>, la pi\u00e8ce documentaire de Nicolas Lambert consacr\u00e9e au pass\u00e9 colonial fran\u00e7ais et \u00e0 ses h\u00e9ritages.<\/p>\n

Une culture hors des cases<\/b><\/p>\n

La programmation assume son go\u00fbt des chemins de traverse, entre f\u00eate et r\u00e9flexion politique. Dimanche, la performance de but\u00f4\/noise Izanami #4 Haji<\/i> investira les jardins de Maison Rouge, avant La Pompe Afrique<\/i>, film autour de l\u2019affaire Elf et de la Fran\u00e7afrique. La cl\u00f4ture, Pour que le jour se l\u00e8ve<\/i>, m\u00ealera r\u00e9cit, th\u00e9\u00e2tre, chant lyrique, violon et images autour de la violence et de la force de la beaut\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Extravagances ne se limite pas aux sc\u00e8nes. Ateliers de s\u00e9rigraphie, gravure ou moulage, fresque collective et expositions compl\u00e8tent le week-end. Une mani\u00e8re aussi de faire circuler le public d\u2019un lieu \u00e0 l\u2019autre et d\u2019associer davantage Saint-Jean-du-Gard \u00e0 la f\u00eate, plut\u00f4t que d\u2019enfermer le festival derri\u00e8re les murs d\u2019une seule salle.<\/p>\n

Le festival reconduit aussi son espace consacr\u00e9 aux petites maisons d\u2019\u00e9dition ind\u00e9pendantes. Affirmant ne recevoir aucune subvention financi\u00e8re et \u00e9cartant le m\u00e9c\u00e9nat d\u2019entreprise, l\u2019\u00e9quipe revendique une ind\u00e9pendance reposant largement sur les artistes, techniciens, b\u00e9n\u00e9voles et pr\u00eats de lieux. Une \u00e9conomie fragile, mais coh\u00e9rente avec son mot d\u2019ordre\u00a0: \u00ab\u00a0l\u00e2cher tout, aller au-del\u00e0, extravaguer\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Après une première édition qui avait fait du mélange des arts sa boussole, Extravagances reprend ses quartiers à Saint-Jean-du-Gard du 4 au 6 septembre.
