Call for projects — VIVEZ MAINTENANT
October 14, 2025
La Chapelle Scènes Contemporaines offers an unusual performance concept within its walls. These are evenings in the bar and/or lobby, where you are invited to experience the space as it is, but however you like! With a view to blurring the lines between the performance space and the listening space, the idea is to offer moments where the performers mingle with the audience.
In a changing economic and performance context, it's important to encourage people to come together around artistic practices and performances. With this proposal, La Chapelle Scènes Contemporaines—historically a place that challenges norms and frameworks—seeks to shake up the world of public performance.
All disciplines are welcome. Please note that you will have three hours to prepare in the bar or lobby and that you can use what is already there (bar sound system, installed lighting, projector, piano, furniture), the aim being to work with these elements! Feel free to let your wildest impulses run free: this is the time to try something that will surprise and challenge the audience.
Those wishing to participate are invited to do so alone. Two dates are planned for the season, and four people will be selected per date.
Those selected will be paired up in duos. The choice of duos will be guided by the spirit conveyed by the applications, rather than by the complementarity of their practices. A few weeks before the event, we will inform those selected of their partner so that they can familiarize themselves with their work and meet each other.
The events will take place on February 11, 2026, and April 15, 2026.
