La Folie Kilomètre is a group, exploring in situ creation and various manners to feel the landscape and to hijack the public place. With a practice of sometimes long-term ground and the methods of contextual investigations, they tent to reveal the poetry which gets free of a real-life space. Interested in problems stemming from human sciences as the anthropology or the town and country planning, they consider the space as a laboratory and as a material for artistic creation. from excursion to live performance, this multidisciplinary group about fifteen artists, professionals of the town and country planning and scientists from all France propose sensitive geographical or performative experiences.

GK is a Paris-based group of associated artists focused on theatrical research and performance. The group is led by Gabriella Cserhati. Their artistic interest and main aim is to experiment and blur the limit between fiction and reality, reaching out to audiences by fighting alienation and discrediting individualism. They are proposing and experimenting with various types of relationships among performers and the audience, like their most practiced serial, the THéâTRe CaCHé (HiDDeN THeaTeR). Their credo is avoiding and excluding any physical intrusion into the privacy of the participants and maintaining complete freedom of participation.
