- In silence and guided by a dancer’s hand, the audience member explores a place from top to bottom through situations that allow them to interact sensitively with the environment: lying down, touching, listening, pausing… taking time to feel and be transformed by the space, inhabiting a place.
- The performance has taken place in museums, parks, and theaters across France, Italy, and Poland.

Immersion in a neighborhood or location, guided by an audio guide
- “Mobile Promenade” created by Martial Chazallon and Martin Chaput, cie Projet in situ

The voices of a child, an adult, and an artist create a playful and creative relationship with the environment.
- The performance took place in hotels, museums, abandoned sites, parks, offices, bars, train stations, theaters… across France and the United States.
