The same year, they work together for Paysage après l’orage. Akosh Szelevenyi will compose the music for the next creation of Josef Nadj and will interpret it on stage with Gildas Etevenard.

The workshop’s aim is to give the opportunity to the participants to share an artist’s creative process insisting on pluridisciplinarity. During this workshop, the participants will be invited to improvise and compose from the Yi King, founder piece of the Chinese philosophy which Josef Nadj has decided to explore for his next creation. According to the creative process he wants to develop for this creation, music will be central during the workshop, looking for an osmosis between musicality and movement.
