The exhibition

The universe of the Wind Tamers is an original, crazy and poetic world invented by Didier Maes and developed by Theatre de l'Alambre.
By mixing genres and techniques (drawings, prints, interactive installations, unusual objects and photographs), the exhibition tells the great history of this secret order. An exhibition that will explain, for example, that the first wind in the world was created by the sneeze of the “creator”. That the contemporary oleo-ducts (oil pipelines) are actually old recycled eolo-duct (air ducts). That Leonardo da Vinci is nothing less than the greatest Tamer of Winds of all time.

The inauguration of the exhibition will consist of a surreal and crazy scientific conference that will support this theory. An auction of the last breath of John Lennon is scheduled to be held!

The exhibition can be visited from November 2 to 25 at the Stables of the Cultural Center of the Vénerie.

Information

General information of the Expo

We do theater because we like tenderness and miss the tenderness in the adults

The Wind Tamers is a broad, original and complex universe that is expressed through various artistic disciplines.

The first proposal is a theatrical show for all audiences "The wind Tammers", winner of the jury prize at the Au Bonheur des Mômes International Festival (France) in 2016.

The second proposal consists of the exhibition that we are proposing you to support. This exhibition opens with a crazy conference, based on scientific-historical-surrealist documents.
And finally a storytelling that uses word and poetry to offer the audience more information of the sympathetic and bizarre life of some of the most unusual characters of the whole story of the wind tamers. An ideal counterpoint to close up the circle.

Did you know ...?

... that in its original version, Leonardo da Vinci´s Gioconda was painted with her hair tousled by the wind?

... that in the era of the “one direction wind”, the main opponent in a football match was the wind?
