A simple title. Or a burning question. To answer it, a series of shows, meetings, screenings, and performances are being offered at the TPM as part of Quartiers d’artistes, which this year welcomes Gaëlle Bourges:

OVTR (ON VA TOUT RENDRE),orhow to return what has been looted.
(LA BANDE À) LAURA, orhow to give a voice and a presence back to forgotten female artists and models.
COLO LASCAUX, or how to give children back their discoveries, even if they are dunces.
SOIRÉE MANQUE,to dance together to our favorite hits.

While waiting for the Netflix series, here is Europe's most famous medieval epic condensed into a low-tech episodic show: Guillaume & Harold, which depicts the Bayeux Tapestry (^11thcentury), a long-running tale of invasion that ends well then badly, or badly then well—depending on your point of view (English or French) and the time scale (short or long) you adopt.

In any case, we encounter William, Harold, Edward, Elguyve, Edith, but also horses, a mule, ships, the English Channel, Mont-Saint-Michel, Halley's Comet, a giant barbecue, the Battle of Hastings, and... ABBA.

Guillaume & Harold is a commission for theTout-Terrain Collectioncurated by Alban Richard: a series of short pieces for black boxes and outdoor spaces. 

The show premiered in Paris in February.
