TRANS[FORM]ANSE showcased SONGE 00

TRANS[FORM]ANSE showcased SONGE 00 : The Open Space “Allowing yourself to blow a fuse” What if the real madness was never daring to try?

SONGE 00: The Open Space starts from a simple and radical intuition: what if allowing yourself to lose it was the sanest, most human, most liberating act of all? This is not a performance about burnout. It is an invitation to joyful desertion, a glitch in the matrix of control, a collective dream where hierarchy collapses and the body rediscovers its own grammar. Allowing yourself to blow a fuse means being the first one to dance on the empty dancefloor. Not to draw attention, but simply because the music is good and you feel like it. And soon enough, others think: if this person can do it, so can I.

More than forty artists (Dance, Visual Art, Music, Performance) take over an entire former office building to create a parallel world where chronic urgency transforms into creative momentum, where small talk becomes poetry, where boredom turns into trance. The audience doesn’t come to watch a show. They enter another dimension, moving freely among the performers, choosing their own emotional itinerary. The venue is the first character. The experience begins at the threshold are MUSIC, DANCE & VISUAL ARTS.

About The Company TRANS[FORM]ANSE, TRANS[FORM]ANSE is an immersive creation company led by artist and scenographer Margaux Berger. It co-writes site-specific performances with choreographers in non-dedicated spaces, where the venue itself becomes the first character of each creation. The company develops the SONGE format: a series of hybrid experiences between live art and exhibition, drawing on the dynamics of dream stages. Each edition is conceived for and with a specific venue. The building, its history and its character are at the heart of the dramaturgy. A collage system where the association of works in a given place creates a new work to be traversed. TRANS[FORM]ANSE champions a transdisciplinary and inclusive vision of creation: desacralising the stage, placing equal value on performers and audience members, proposing new contemporary artistic and festive rituals.

About The Venue, PRINT XP is an ephemeral cultural venue born in Arles during the Rencontres de la Photographie, installed since March 2026 in a former Orange office building in Ménilmontant, the neighbourhood’s former telephone exchange. Over 3,000 m² across six floors, deployed as a hybrid artistic laboratory bringing together photography, music and gastronomy, led by the Cracki Records collective, chef Alexis Bijaoui and the Bureau Classico agency. A former office building turned into a festive and cultural capsule. The ideal setting for a performance that interrogates precisely what we do with our workspaces — and what these spaces do to us. «The building fully participates in the identity of the project, as a character in its own right.» SONGE 00: The Open Space is conceived specifically for this space, before its definitive closing on June 7th, 2026. A site-specific creation that enters into dialogue with the architecture, history and memory of the place.

TRANS(FORM)ANSE presents “Fictitious Project” – curated by Margaux Berger

This exhibition room is called “Fictitious Project” in reference to an expression my former company used to describe projects in development that did not generate any concrete revenue for the company, and whose sole purpose was to artistically stimulate the creative team I was managing. Fictitious means created by the imagination. Through this installation bringing together a curated selection of artists from various fields of exploration, I wish to highlight the power of the imagination. To celebrate our ability to find stimulation in sometimes constraining domains. Much like a dream or a nightmare, we find ourselves immersed in a world that seems real, concrete or familiar, yet upon closer inspection, we make strange discoveries. How do these discoveries shape our memories, our emotions, our need for narrative? This is a tribute to all fictitious projects, which continue to exist in our dreams, in our hearts and in our minds, and which sometimes come to life in the “real” world.
