The seventh edition of Infr'Action will be held from September 14 to 18 in the public space of Sète and in our specific indoor venue for performance art, la Chapelle du Quartier Haut. Like every year, artists from different backgrounds invest the city being close to a public of all ages.
Over five days, 17 creators of performance art will affect our consciences and hearts with meetings, each time more intense. Open to all forms of performance and action art, whether it is oral, sonic, visual, conceptual, interactive or moreover, or an action based on new media like video, Infr’Action offers a large variety of contemporary performance art. It is here that you can come and discover new works by new as well as by artists with an international reputation.
Infr’Action Sète 2011 will feature artists from besides France as different countries as Serbia, Singapore, Argentina, Portugal, Taïwan, Morocco, Sweden, India, Egypt, Canada, the USA, Austria, and Poland.
This seventh edition takes a different path between performance art and the public. A proof, if we need one, that artists have the capacity to upset and change the daily habits of a city. As to repaint our lives and our city with the arts that offer new perspectives to our consciences!
Since six years, Infr’Action puts the beautiful Mediterranean city of Sète under the sign of performance art. When one speaks about performance art in France, for sure, Infr’Action is the first that comes to mind. The festival has been able to rely on a profound knowledge of contemporary art to become a meeting spot of young artists, as well as those who alreaday can be described as already belonging to the history of contemporary art. Infr’Action continues with the same ambition to innovate and being opened to the audience at large, the same will to develop and go beyond while at the same time staying close to its original principles : being both popular and avant-garde.
