This research project proposes to use the tools of social geography inquiry and those of directing actors as a method to invent a theatrical writing of nostalgia.
Nostalgia evokes a process of reactivating the past in the present time and place. To achieve this, Sarah Calcine and Florian Opillard call upon a trend of “ghosts geography” which defines the concept of "tomason", designating objects in the urban landscape that have lost their function and thus become anachronistic. They intend to observe, collect and question these anachronisms of the built environment in order to access the intertwined memories of the inhabitants.
The aim is to implement processes that will allow them to develop the agility of the team members to become "ghost hunters" in the Saint Gervais district of Geneva. Interviews, testimonies, life stories, mental maps, letters, anecdotes will form the elements of a narrative juxtaposition that will allow, from a performative form, to highlight the spatiality of memories of past and present social groups that clash in the same place.
