18h30 : Le Tremplin presents Mélindark / Mélinda Rost and Namoo, who will be accompanying this event. Performance art - It's high time to "dementalise".
Drawing on a large format frees up your gestures. It allows you to "dement", to let go. In a few strokes, the essence can be deposited. The difference between a small and a large format is the scale of the gesture: it's the whole body that gives the movement.
