Short Description
The INACT festival is an event focusing on performance art, organized in Strasbourg since 2011. This multidisciplinary event will take place in May 2026, with several evening and daytime events. We invite artists from all disciplines: musicians, visual artists, actors, dancers, poets, who have projects related to performance and performativity and who can propose a project consistent with this year’s theme: “Fugology”
The theme of this edition is Fugology, a term borrowed from the artist Erwan Souhmi, who developed a process-based work around this concept during the 2013 edition.
Invoking Fugology, a highly topical neologism, means evoking both the alternatives needed in the face of climate change and the cognitive biases that prevent us from considering an increasingly obvious reality: the unlivability of our environment in the short term.
