Located between two districts of Toulon with distinct identities, the Porte d'Italie is a transitional space, separating different flows, built up areas and open spaces. The Pont des Arts aims to transform this place of passage into a third place, welcoming Toulon residents around contemporary physical performances where the human body is the principal medium of interaction with the audience. This third place will be structured around shared areas: the Banquet to encourage interactions around food; the Agora to convey knowledge about art; the Stage for performances involving the body, the spectator and/or the performer. The aim: to bring different groups together around artistic performance.
