Peggy Dalibert, Charlotte Cabanis and Anne Lalaire have been in residency in the Cleunay neighbourhood since January, for a long process of meeting people, exploring and collecting to build the foundation for this holistic artistic project. Cité Fertile focuses on the “act of nourishing”, in a cooperative performance experience on a gentle slope, which takes the time to gather, plant, sow and harvest, to organise poetic and fun culinary moments based on the resources of the place, to cultivate images, sounds and experiences. Working with a scenographer (Camille Riquier), a photographer (Catherine Duverger) and a musician (Nicolas Méheust), and with the support of landscapers, botanists and agronomists, Quignon Sur Rue creates an experiment in citizen utopia that plants seeds and explores other urban and cultural developments and trajectories.

Built around collective writing and experiments with the local residents, the project will be presented as a staged sound and culinary urban walk, with headphones and multidisciplinary installations. The expanding journey will be punctuated by fertile breaks, wild banquets, wandering soups, photographic portraits and visual art works. All these artistic and culinary creations and performances will serve as a way of collectively re-appropriating common spaces, in a beautiful work of site-specific invention and intervention.
