I think we are all quite alone today. What do groups cohere around? Are there other possibilities for living?\u201d<br><br>With this video shot on 16mm colour film, Ulla von Brandenburg transports the visitors into new surroundings. They find themselves in the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre du Peuple in Bussang, a theatre built on a mountainside in the Vosges at the end of the 19th century to host theatrical festivities for the people. It is within this space infused with humanist ideals that Ulla von Brandenburg sets her performers, who sing a text inspired by the 1930 play <em>The Deep-Sea Fish (Der Tiefseefisch)<\/em> by Marieluise Fleisser (1901-1974). They act out a \u201cmicro-society, as if it were the last of its kind\u201d: a living community cut off from the outside world, with its own economy, rules, and values. Their daily life is suddenly interrupted when one of the group\u2019s members breaks with the ritual and opens the doors of the d\u00e9cor. They reveal to the spectator the specificity of the Bussang theatre \u2013 the back of the stage opens up directly onto the forest \u2013 and at the same time reveal to their community the possibility of contact with the outside world. The film offers at once a variation on ideas of loss, abandonment and flight, and a tale that reflects upon the themes of transgression and individual<br>responsibility within the collective. <br><br>At the end of the film, the members of the community disappear only to reappear within the Palais de Tokyo; the objects they bring with them become the works of the exhibition. Ulla von Brandenburg thus reveals the illusory nature of theatre and, like the bear that unexpectedly appears in her film, thrusts into the midst of our social organisation that which it strives to exclude: nature, and the unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Ulla von Brandenburg, <em>Le milieu est bleu<\/em>, 2020<br>16mm colour film, HD video transfer, 23\u201943\u201d<br><br>Courtesy of the artist and Art : Concept (Paris); Meyer Riegger (Berlin\/Karlsruhe); Pilar Corrias Gallery (London); Produzentengalerie Hamburg<br><br>Director: Ulla von Brandenburg<br>Executive Producer: Julia Moss\u00e9<br>Dramaturg: Benoit R\u00e9sillot<br>Choreography: Giuseppe Molino<br>Scenography: Valentina Dotti, Sabine Tarry, Julia Moss\u00e9, Julien Cr\u00e9pieux Accessories: Hannelore Lu\u0308cke-Rausch, Fabienne Touzi dit<br>Terzi, Julien Cr\u00e9pieux, Adrien Collino, Charlotte Livine, Charles Poitevin Costumes: Valentina Dotti, Sabine Tarry, Julia Moss\u00e9, Cl\u00e9mence<br>Joly, Fanny Milone and with the support of the Op\u00e9ra National de Paris<br>Music: Anna Holveck, Ulla von Brandenburg<br>Director of Photography: Laurent Coltelloni <br>Cameraman and Steadicam Operator: Eric Bialas<br>First Camera Assistant: Mathias Sabourdin <br>Head Electrician: Luis Peralta<br>Head Operator: Pierre Monneret<br>Production Co-Ordinator: Nicolas Galland<br>Technician-Electrician: Alban Thi\u00e9baut<br>Sound Engineer: Olivier Pelletier<br>Editing and Color grading: Nicolas Perret, Laurent Coltelloni<br>Postproduction: Alexandre Westphal <br>Equipment: Kodak France, Panavision Paris and Panalux Paris<br>Laboratory: Hiventy, Joinville-Le-Pont<br>Performers: Benoit R\u00e9sillot, Giuseppe Molino, Laurence Mayor, Bianca Iannuzzi, Duncan Evennou, Larissa Emi, Jean-Marc Michels, Julia Moss\u00e9<br>Extras: Pauline-Alexandrine Deforge, Valentina Dotti, Anna Holveck, Ulla von Brandenburg, Sabine Tarry, Julien Cr\u00e9pieux, Alice Monneret, Pascal Alexandre, Aur\u00e9lia Barraux, Maud Chasseux, Christine Frechin, Gr\u00e9gory Gillar, Alain Grivel, Maryvonne Hans, Pascalle Henry, Martial Imbault, Anne Jacquot, Laurence Joly, C\u00e9line Motte, Linda Nachtigall, Christine Peyrole, Catherine Poirot, Josette Prud\u2019homme, Odile Rose, Evelyne Saint Dizier, B\u00e9n\u00e9dicte Thiebaut<br>Catering: Pascal Bernard<br>Thanks to: Simon Del\u00e9tang, Alice Trousset, Cl\u00e9lie Bagard and the team at the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre du Peuple, Bussang ; Yoann Gourmel, Albane de Chatellus, Christine Neumeister, Marianne Lamour, Vincent Ferreira, Jessica Nourisson, Pierre-Marie Paubel, Matthieu Imbert<br><br>IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LE TH\u00c9\u00c2TRE DU PEUPLE, BUSSANG, THE CND, CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA DANSE AND THE OP\u00c9RA NATIONAL DE PARIS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWhat is a community?
