Event #4

Ever since he was a child – much before his epic crossing on a wire stretched between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in 1974 – Philippe Petit has ventured along the little-known confines of a search for knowledge and perfection, which he himself has undertaken as someone who is self-taught. Insight, improvisation, observation, passion are the primary elements that fuel his long and frenetic path of creativity. But also rigour, control, total dedication. For Petit, the invitation to create starting from chaos and rebellion inevitably leads to order, which is indispensable for the definition of any programme. By using real examples, inspired by his very personal creative processes (drawing, demonstrations, audience participation, video screenings. even magic tricks), Petit will invite the spectators to find their own path so that they can enter the doors he opens.
