With the participation of Collège Coin Joli Sévigné (13009) and Collège Edgar Quinet (13003).

School sessions are presentations of shows that accompany a preparation phase in the classroom.
They include a 20-minute on-stage meeting with the artistic team, to share impressions and provide a few keys to understanding the project.



Launched in 2020, Ircam's Musiques-Fictions collection offers a unique literary and sound experience, combining a contemporary text with a musical creation, in an immersive diffusion system.... Installed under Ircam's 49-speaker ambisonic diffusion dome, recreated in the GMEM Module, the listener is invited to a listening experience in which the imagination is stimulated by a sound environment with wide-ranging expressive possibilities, enabling us to reproduce a
listening situation close to that of the real world, from the big spectacular stage to the tiniest details of intimate discourse.

This Music-Fiction entitled "Believing in wild beasts" tells the story of how, in 2015, during an anthropological mission on the edge of Siberia, Nasstassja Martin, who has gone off alone into the forest, is attacked by a bear that tears off half her face. 

Disfigured, she underwent numerous operations in Russia, then in France. 

The researcher tells the story of her reconstruction, both physical and psychological, but goes beyond the story of this traumatic accident to reflect on the encounter between human and non-human worlds at a time when the planet's ecosystems are collapsing.
