Present time

Present time, is our new back-to-school ritual. It's a time to gather around stories from civil society.

Each year, we invite artists to take up texts written by unknown people. We'll take as our starting point words that have come from afar, that have made great migratory journeys to get closer and closer to us. With them, we'll move towards the other, then open the season in the theater, aware of where we are.
For this 2024 edition, we have entrusted Present time to Delphine Lanson, member of the TJP artist department.
