Cie Sang-Gênes
Our approach
Minuit 47 and Cie Sang-Gênes are cross-border arts collectives connecting Luxembourg and France through inclusive projects, artistic workshops, and creations in theatre, music, and digital arts.
Our companies were born from the meeting of three artists from France, Luxembourg, and Belgium.
We want to take our creations beyond borders and share French-speaking culture within a broader context, that of European cultural identity.
Beyond the stage, we pursue a social and cultural approach that seeks to forge links between communities and strengthen dialogue.
This is why we chose to create a shared website: to showcase this collective work and provide a shared space for our theatrical, musical, social, and multimedia projects.
Our companies are committed to creating expressive artistic works that are accessible to all, driven by ongoing research that draws on real-life situations. But while our starting point is reality, our destination lies elsewhere: in the imagination, poetry, and reverie.
We seek to create suspended spaces, poetic bubbles nourished by lived experience, where we can dream together, even from what hurts, what is hard or invisible. What we offer are artistic forms that connect: between people, territories, and experiences.
Shows
So how do you explain,
that every month, from my mouth below,
flows a tide of blood?
If it's not the devil drooling,
what is it?

Workshops
As an extension of our creative work, we offer artistic workshops for a variety of audiences:
-
the elderly,
-
children,
-
people with disabilities,
-
women who have been victims of violence.
Our aim is to build bridges, encourage self-expression and provide a sensitive space for people who, all too often, have no access to culture or a place to be heard.
These workshops are designed as spaces for sharing, where words flow in both directions. They feed into our artistic practice as much as we seek to awaken theirs. By helping them to create, we discover other forms of sensitivity and other ways of looking at the world, which enrich our own approach.
We advocate a horizontal approach, based on reciprocity: we don't just come to ‘pass on’, but to co-construct a space for creation and trust. In this way, each workshop becomes a place where people can meet, emancipate and inspire each other.
