Résonances

In May and June 2025, we carried out the Résonances #1 project in Bourg-d'Oisans (38), echoing the D'Arbre en Arbre installation-show presented on June 14, 2025, at the Théâtre de verdure, as part of the Centenary of Houille Blanche and Nuits des Forêts.

This initiative was part of a CTEAC residency supported by the Communauté de communes de l’Oisans, in partnership with the Ehpad Abel Maurice, the Résidence des Charmilles, the leisure center, the youth service, the ONF, and the Maison du département, with the support of the DRAC, the Region, the Department, and the CAF of Isère.

First phase (May 2025):
•    Immersion of the team in Bourg-d'Oisans, meetings with partners and residents.
•    Two sensory and intergenerational walks in the forest (Bois Gauthier and Buclet forest) bringing together residents of the Abel Maurice nursing home and Les Charmilles, children and teenagers, activity leaders, and forest guides.
•    Collection of stories, memories, and confidences related to trees.

Second phase (June 2025):
•    Group listening sessions of the soundtrack with different groups of residents.
•    Workshop on drawing led by painter Patrick Singh.
•    Visits to the installation site and meetings with the artistic team.
•    Invitation to all participants to attend the performance of our installation-show D’Arbre en Arbre.

Beyond the performance itself, Résonances #1 created a space for exchange, bringing together different generations, residents, and artists. The tree, at the heart of the project, became a pretext for sharing stories, with the hope of rooting a common memory.
