The multi-disciplinary Tunisian festival Dream City is moving to Aubervilliers at the joint invitation of the Festival d’Automne and La Commune, with the shared desire to make this area rustle, resonate and dream through a dozen creations by international performing and visual artists.
Hebron – Martin Argyroglo
An artistic crossroads between the Arab world, Africa and Europe, Dream City examines and sings about a world in motion, attentive to the themes of emancipation, migration and human rights. Created in 2007 in the medina of Tunis, the Dream City festival brings together contextual creations with a direct link to local urban realities and the people who live there. The project was initiated by choreographers Selma Ouissi and Sofiane Ouissi, joined by Jan Goossens, who use artistic creation to design a new urban space. In Aubervilliers, the artistic proposals take over places all over the city, right up to the gates of Paris, to draw a living map of sensibilities and thoughts in action. The programme for this city of dreams, or this dream of a city, includes theatre, dance, performances, music, encounters, visual arts, a sound trail, choreographed clubbin’ and a DJ set, all stages of a sensitive journey to be put together over two long weekends.
