Jeunes en détention et jeux d’orchestration : à l’écoute du sensible

Abstract

This article presents an action-research about a participative playing orchestra, created by the Esagramma centre in Milan realised in the Northern France prisons, in partnership with the University of Lille 3 and the interregional penitentiary board of Directors. The experience that took place in the penitentiary establishment for minors of Quiévrechain is hereby explained. The proposed point of view is to connect the artistic practice with the paradigm of Sensible participating to the sensitive subject coming up. Therefore, the listening process developed during the musical practice and its playing orchestrations helps recognising a ruined sensitive life. This real musical and sensitive work represents a true way of meeting up with the self and others, rich of emotions, feelings and sense.
