​

Beyond our own social condition, we share the fundamental question that makes the future a source of anguish and the past a source of melancholy, Let’s make a celebration of it: WATCH

​

Watch, is: 

​

The launching of Paradise Palace, based at the Théâtre du Châtelet until 2024 for a tryptic of creations and
the organisation of a social and artstic ‘stadium’ after the Olympic Games.

 

• The birth of the Collège du Poétique, an eclectic citizen group, with Jacques Toubon as general
troublemaker.

 

• The mobilisation of 6 partner structures to run the workshops and multiply the discussions on Time,
(The Paris Samusocial (Welfare services), the prison in Meaux, 2 EPHAD (Old People’s Home) of the
Centre d’Action Sociale in Paris, the Jeanne d’Arc primary school in the 13th Arrondissement in Paris and
the Palliative Unit of the APHP (French Social Security).

 

• A collaboration with the Philippe Jaroussky Academy for two musicians in the musical formation of
Watch, with the ‘En Avant’ gym club in Paris, in the framework of the Cultural Olympics, with Les
Augures Lab /Scenography to follow the environmental conception of the project and the Maison de la
Poésie for the Samusocial workshops.

​

• Donors who have supported the project and paid for ‘special seats’ to allow the precarious to come to the
performances.

 

• Two performances at the Théâtre du Châtelet with spectators from all over, perfectly reflecting
the show.

 

• The creation of a brand new reintegration project for prisoners with the Accord Group and SPIP77,

 

• A project directly impacting 3000 beneficiaries.

​

• The adhesion of our public partners (Ville de Paris, Direction Regionale des Affaires Culturelles d’Ile de
France, the SPIP77) and our private partners (The Accor Endowment foundation Accor Heartist Solidarity, the Meyer Foundation, La Poste Foundation, Le Barreau de Paris Solidarités,
the Conseil National du Barreau, Humanités Digital Numérique).
