NON FICTION 05 – Love and rage

NON FICTION 05 – Love and rage – An epic of joy and celebration as life impulses in the face of the collapse of the living. “LOVE AND RAGE” is a nod to the slogan of the international civil disobedience action group Extinction Rebellion. “AMOUR ET RAGE” is a cry from the heart in the face of the artificialization of land and human relationships.

At a time when the living are rising up, we need to affirm the radical nature of gentleness and the reassurance of ecstasy. This is about joy. The joy of being alive, whatever the cost. The joy of performing in worlds that are marginal but very real. Carnival, pagan ritual, rave parties, cabaret, the circus, drag and nursery rhymes all praise this joy, as much a pulse as a fury for life.

NONFICTION 05 presents the work of 47 international artists, born after the 1980s, who explore the aesthetics of joy, from the gentle to the festive, for a reversal of the established order, a desire for utopia, here and now.
