PROJECTS
Give improvised music a framework conducive to play, exchange, adventure.
LE MIROIR
THE MIRROR
Improvised concert in duet from the first to the last note
Le Miroir, is the metaphor for the exchange that will take place before your eyes between these two artists, you will see them getting to know each other on stage, and at the same time getting to know you.
PEM and NANO, are two songwriters and adventurers who have worked with the greatest (Didier Lockwood, Billy Cobham, Otto Lechner, Kent, Moustaki, Enzo-Enzo…). One is a violinist, acoustic-electric, eclectic, the other accordionist, an organ hanging from his shoulders, a chapel in his voice. What do they have in common? they do not create and they do not play, without emotion. Whether it is through artistic events created by one or the other, or in response to orders from artistic organizers who want the exception, their meeting is a real leap into the void, which they master as a glide.
Duration of the concert: a gliding flight

Above us, space; below, a mirror; the surface of the water is like the look of beautiful open eyes; you get lost without understanding.

TENNIS MUSICAL
MUSIC-HALL TENNIS
Open musical exchange above a net within the limits of the court
With Music-Hall Tennis, the field is convened everywhere: in a performance hall, in a stadium, on the street or on a tennis court. Today's sport is a spectacle. Music here takes the place of a sport where the rules are imaginary. It becomes a musical match. Where everyone can see a fair or fault score, where the game requires new scores, where the audience encourages the match score.
It is a sporting and artistic game which aims to make the imagination the fuel and the trigger for all the unexpected. As we observe the ball, we observe the notes passing from one musician to another.
This musical set is arbitrated by an artist (actor, musician, dancer, painter) who is responsible for the smooth running of the game in the rules of art.

AGORA-OFF CULTURAL SPACE
A "hub" of cultural creativity within everyone's reach - www.agora-off.com
The Agora-Off Cultural Space was founded on the Internet at www.agora-off.com , on March 14, 2020 by Antoine Méthivier, Pierre-Marie PEM Braye-Weppe and Arnaud NANO Méthivier in prevention of French confinement imposed by the Covid-19. Its mission was to respond as "cultural emergency workers" to the closure of French cultural establishments set up from the start of the containment.
The Agora-Off Cultural Space is then the 1st cultural place created during a period of confinement.
As of March 16, it hosted the first edition of the Festival des Arts Confinés , the 1st festival dedicated to original confined creations, as well as a Campus for students and art school speakers, and other events. On April 5, the founders of the Espace Culturel Agora-Off wrote a letter to the Minister of Culture, Franck Riester , to request financial logistical assistance to ensure viable cultural continuity in the present, while all indoor practice entertainment was prohibited for health reasons. This letter will remain unanswered by the ministry.
Continuing its activity during the confinement decreed in France, the Espace Culturel Agora-Off opened several new rooms and welcomed more than 300 new works created in confinement, from Japan to the United States, from Tunisia to England. These works remain available for consultation to this day.
The Agora-Off Cultural Space , dematerialized, aims to be an infinite place , which explores and experiences collective processes to inhabit the world and build commons. An open place that creates spaces of freedom where alternatives are sought. A difficult place to define because its main character is the opening on the unexpected to build endlessly, the possible to come. Like an Agora, it is a place of international exchange which is located in all regions of the world. It is an experience that may seem precarious but above all concrete, joyful and inclusive.
A "Hub", a pole of convergence of creativity and meetings around art for creators, artisans, artists and students or teachers . A space where questions, inter-disciplinarity and imagination intermingle.
Due to the original reasons for its birth, the Agora-Off Cultural Space is dedicated to a reflection around Confined Art , whether it is practiced by "professional" or "amateur" creators or whether it is practiced by temporary or permanent confined creators.
