In September, the Tender Anger artistic team was at L’Orange Bleue* in Eaubonne for its 7th week of creative residency. Under the eye of videomaker Laurence Vasselin, the company captured a few moments of this work phase. Take a look at these first images!

SOME INSPIRATIONS ☁️
By exploring the borderline states of “out-of-self”,
from fury to abandonment and from comedy to drama,
we want to explore the possibility of a different kind of group:
tenderness and gentle madness
as possible paths
to a new way of living together?
