Are there spaces where we cannot go? Places that we do not have the right to explore? And if we penetrate them, what would happen, what would we become? Quartiers libres (free rein) explores and reveals those peculiar spaces we are trapped in, those forbidden places in which we choose to wander: spaces open to endless possibilities, spaces to submit and reveal.

12 years after its premiere in France, Nadia revisits this emblematic solo by inviting two young artists from the Ivorian scene to explore these moving territories, between Abidjan, Montpellier, New York and Minneapolis… Versatiles sounds and piles of plastic bottles mingle with bodies, burying and concealing them, but giving up is not an option.
