Intersections is a project that brings together five artists in five different cities telepresence. These five protagonists have lived through major social movements in their respective cities, and experienced important citizen movements in their city: the green revolution (Tehran, 2009), the Tunisian Revolution (Tunis, 2011), the Iindignados (Barcelona, 2011) and the “Maple Spring” (Montréal 2012). The performance is a direct window on our world, questioning our era and our desire for revolution. Have you ever had a feeling of rebellion? Inspired by the performers’ personal experiences who allow us to live their stories questioning the past, present and future. The piece is a poetic exploration of their dreams, hopes and disappointments, all connected with their desire for revolution.
