LE TIRET DU SIX

"Le tiret du six", litteraly "six-dash", is a french expression used to disambiguate the dash ("-") from the underscore ("_"). Indeed, on AZERTY keyboards (PC only), this character is situated on the same key as the number 6. What's funny is that the dash already has a name in french (it's called a "trait d'union"), but somehow the metaphor of the keyboard has elbowed its way in the language of everyday.

Inspired by the now fading trend of LAN-PARTIES (when people physicaly gathered in flats or municipal halls to play videogames over a week-end and socialize), this project is about guiding a non-expert group (2 performers for ±50 persons) in both technical & narrative experiments to explore the diverse array of FEELINGS and political issues at stake in the digital society.
