Mémoire vive + L’algèbre d’Ariane

A look back at two recent DARE-DARE events: L'algèbre d'Ariane (2000, with Les Brasseurs Art Contemporain, Liège) and Mémoire vive (2002, with the Centre d'histoire de Montréal). The publication overflows with entrusted experiences and theoretical insights, and articulates a reflection on research, creative processes and the diversity of relationships established with audiences. Through a contamination of artistic practices, L'algèbre d'Ariane proposed a cooperative experience in which the audience found itself at the center of a game, searching for clues. Mémoire vive presented various gestures and interventions in the city, using history as raw material to activate individual and collective memory.
