Using methods that are sometimes academic and sometimes speculative, a variety of materials \u2013 archives, interviews, and voices \u2013 are collected and considered as multiple points of access for telling the story of an invisibility. In the form of a performance, <em>Leaving Vegas<\/em> becomes a public making-of in which to question the relationships between authorship, authority, and posterity. Who produces knowledge? For whom is it produced? At what cost? And who benefits from it?<\/h5>\n<p><strong>Nadjim Bigou Fathi<\/strong> is a designer, visual artist, and performer. He is interested in the emergence of boundaries \u2013 from walls to words \u2013 and the normative dynamics that underpin them. Through curatorial, sculptural, and performative projects, he creates situations in which audiences are involved in questioning the power relations that bind them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Soto Labor<\/strong> is an author, visual artist, and performer. Influenced by hip-hop as a means of emancipation, he explores different forms of storytelling and performance, examining the conditions under which discourse is produced and exercised. He creates narratives, tales, poems, and rap texts as critical tools.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Within the framework of Nouveau Grand Tour \u2013 a project by Institut fran\u00e7ais Italia (IFI) and the French Embassy in Italy With the support of F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Wallonie-Bruxelles, Acad\u00e9mie de France in Rome &#8211;
