It is left to the spectator to decipher these “correspondences” that live performance plays with and on. Since its creation in 1680, the Comédie-Française has always participated in the dialogue of the arts, whether on its stages or in the links it has forged with other disciplines. The public is invited to attend three debates that successively deal with the links between theatre and painting, theatre and the body, and theatre and cinema.

In the course of these meetings organised and moderated by Agathe Sanjuan, curator-archivist of the Comédie-Française, practitioners and theorists from several disciplines will draw on aesthetic, philosophical, historical or economic thinking to provide perspective these correspondences at the heart of live performance.
