January 4th 2015 : The place chosen was the peristyle chapel, usually closed to the public which was exceptionally open for three weeks.
An enigmatic installation by Anne Poivilliers awaited the visitor there: long transparent and diaphanous filaments descending  from the vault of the chapel.

Valérie Miquel CID Member presented a choreography inspired by the installation of Anne Poivilliers and the strong spirituality of the chapel
Valerie wrote

“I was transported by the force of the place and my deep and powerful inspiration that I felt like I was flying away”
