Training
Nadia Beugré's career has been shaped by encounters, encounter with Béatrice Kombé in Abidjan, encounter with Alain Buffard in France many years later... Together, they shared reflections, visions and dreams.
“Dance gave me light", Nadia often says, "and in return I would like to reach out, by giving some tools, sharing some directions and opening up some possibilities for younger generations.”
Sharing and imparting knowledge and experience are at the heart of Libr'Arts’ actions in Montpellier, Abidjan and beyond...

Les échoué.e.s
(The Stranded)
Along the Moroccan coast, 2000 kilometres of border fences separate thousands of young migrants from a common goal: Spain, the gateway to Europe.
Holed up in the hillside woods, they are on the lookout for the slightest opportunity to attempt an assault on the high barriers and barbed wire.
One night comes, the time is ripe. Some will succeed in getting through to the other side, hopefully writing a new chapter... Others will be captured, "caught" by the barriers, those will become the stranded. Stranded for having tried to choose another path than the only one they were given.
In our neighbourhoods, the failed refer to the scum. But also to those who refuse to follow the path that has been paved. Young people so full of dreams and possibilities are trapped by a society that has long since forgotten them.
Before becoming precious, the stone emerged from the bowels of the earth covered with a gangue of mud. To become valuable, it had to be cared for...
How to explore with young people the issues of exclusion: What makes us fail? What are we responsible for? Can we take control of our lives, create our lives as we would create a work of art? Finally, how can we bounce back from the unexpected and be able to seize what life offers us?
By listening to others, to the music of bodies, to space, but also to the invisible, we will learn to confront what was not foreseen or thought of and to allow ourselves to embark on different destinations and re-evaluate our own contexts...
The programme relies on a multidisciplinary approach (writing, music, dance, theatre, beat-boxing), developed on long periods.
The first stage was held between November 2021 and April 2022, in partnership with the MM association, the Halle Tropisme, the Théâtre de la Vista and the École de la 2e chance Montpellier Clemenceau, with the participation of Nadia Beugré, Christian Romain Kossa, Mathilde Monnier.
Next steps will take place in November-December 2022.
