Joy of Tilting



Reflecting on our world in crisis through a mythical mode of thinking can be an opportunity for authentic re-creation, where the entire social, cultural, and natural world is reconsidered without guilt, without fear, but with joy.

The Architecture of the Crowd Studio at Rennes’s Architecture School, supervised by Can Onaner and Mathilde Sari invited Johanna Rocard, Damien Marchal, and the Synopsis Collective, to create a performative workshop inside the Ball Theater – the French Pavillion at 2023 Venice Architecture Biennale – and transform it into a laboratory of a mythical universe: one of a joyous ritualized tiltings. Tiltings from sleep to wakefulness, from heaviness to lightness, from balance to imbalance, from order to formlessness, from calmness to rebellion, from fear to courage. Shifts from one state to another, individual or collective, physical or psychic. Posters, words, the movement of bodies, and sounds are all material and symbolic devices invented on-site, which constitute the specific rituals of the Ball Theater.
