(CANAL+ Prize and Audience Prize – Clermont-Ferrand 2025)
An absurd tragedy set in a repressive society where kissing is punishable by death and people pay by receiving slaps in the face. Angine, an unhappy woman, engages in compulsive shopping in a department store and becomes captivated by a naïve salesgirl. Despite the ban on kissing her, the two grow closer, arousing the suspicion of a jealous coworker.
The film will be screened at Palazzo Grassi as part of a selection of films from the Schermo dell’arte festival.

Le Syndrome de Bonnard (Bonnard Syndrome), exhibited at Le Plateau in Paris and Les Réserves in Romainville from 14th February to 19th July 2026, will reveal the evolving and open nature of artworks. Through reworkings, reactivations and recycling, the works continue to evolve after entering collections. Inspired by painter Pierre Bonnard (1867–1947) and his habit of endlessly modifying his works, the exhibition, curated by the collective Le Bureau/, brings together over thirty French and international artists to explore the impermanence of works, the malleability of narratives, and the ever-evolving dialogue between creation and institution.
With artworks by : Béatrice Balcou, Jean-Luc Blanc, Camille Blatrix, Maurice Blaussyld, Michel Blazy, Pierre Bonnard, Étienne Bossut, Émilie Brout & Maxime Marion, Grégory Chatonsky, Stéphanie Cherpin/Maria Corvocane feat.

Curatorial team : Le Bureau
Curator: Rémi Enguehard, in collaboration with the public relations department of the Frac Île-de-France and the teams and curators of the partner venues.
Populated by impalpable, fragile, and unsettling presences, Villa Bernasconi presents the exhibition Stitches: A Haunted House and Other Ghost Stories, curated by Collectif Détente. Continuing the curatorial project Stitches initiated in 2020, the exhibition explores the spectral potential of textiles.
By clothing the invisible and giving it form, fabric becomes a messenger between worlds, carrying suspended stories and forgotten memories.
At the threshold of the perceptible, the exhibition questions what the figure of the ghost and its dwelling reveal within contemporary artistic practices. Witnesses to concealed legacies, collective fears, and intimate narratives, the works on view give shape to what cannot—or must not—be seen. With tenderness, mischief, and unease, they reveal the haunting that inhabits domestic objects, living spaces, everyday gestures, and social structures.
In dialogue with the architecture of Villa Bernasconi, the house itself becomes a haunted subject, allowing the voices and absent beings to surface—those “others” with whom we coexist, who follow us, or accompany us.

Space as the First Gesture
The SCÉNO festival welcomes artists who invent forms, open up the stage, and, through their gestures, sketch out new perspectives. A set is never neutral: it already contains, in negative, a play yet to come. This is the vision carried by SCÉNO.
The festival invites scenographers who are also directors, visual artists, and choreographers. What do they have in common? The stage — which they constantly reinvent, each in their own way.
On the program: four performances, one installation, and a series of conversations conceived as dialogues to share their approaches. There will also “scenographic quarter-hours” proposed by ENSATT students, as well as post-show discussions. SCÉNO proposes to approach theatre from its very foundations: where everything begins.
In Das Was Ist (“What Is”), Ulla von Brandenburg makes the curtain—an emblematic object of the theatre—the core of her installation. Pierced by a circular opening, each curtain becomes both a passage and a viewpoint.
By moving through these openings, the audience is immersed in successive fields of vivid color. The reverse side of the set reveals another kind of beauty: that of the traces left by paint rollers. The work thus becomes a promise of theatre, offering in a single gesture both access to fiction and the exposure of its making.
“I use fabrics to create spaces in which one can imagine being elsewhere, so to speak falling into other worlds. In a space where curtains are suspended, the separation between inside and outside, or between different worlds, becomes blurred. And this blurring leads one to question where one is.”

Looking at the landscape, what could be more natural? I observe and impressions flood my mind. In capturing the landscape, something happens that is not simply a matter of perspective, but rather a dreamlike representation of the scene and the mystery that inhabits it. Man is faced with himself, searching for meaning, and images flood his consciousness. The works are situated there, probing nature and its poetic power, the reality and authenticity of an experience, history and its traces.
