DATES

Don’t Work (1968-2018)

May 5, 8p.m. 
Performance by Agnès Benoit + Véronique Lamare + film screening “Ne travaille pas- 1968-2018” by César Vayssié
La 3e Porte à Gauche, Bordeaux

Not only Agnès and Véronique will be present with the bookstore at our friends’ (and almost neighbors) La 3e porte à gauche, but they will also do a performance prior to the film screening “Don’t Work” by César Vayssié, a filmmaker who has worked in the field of dance and who will be present for a discussion.
“A wordless film set against a hypnotic soundtrack by Avia x Orly, Don’t Work (1968 – 2018) follows a year in the life of two art students studying in Paris, Elsa Michaud and Gabriel Gauthier. Grappling with love and searching for ways to make performance art matter politically in the face of an incessant cyclone of opinions and images, the two are representative of a generation overwhelmed by the constant onslaught of senseless images in daily life. Set against a frantic montage of news clips, advertising campaigns, internet snippets and jarring images, César Vayssié’s experimental film reflects on the changes that have taken place since May 1968 as well as the transformative act of becoming an artist..”
