Venue
The Chapel Dérézo is first the place where the Compagnie Dérézo regularly works (rehearsals, workshops, laboratories), but it’s also a shared open workshop for artists from everywhere seeking research, work or experiment new projects...
Anchored in Brest, in the popular and historical quarter of Recouvrance, this ancient now desacralised church is pointing toward the sea. Destroyed in the second world war and reconstructed after, this incredible desacralised space (12 meters high under the nave, 225 square meter stage) has been rented to the Compagnie Dérézo in 2011 by the city of Brest for a 21 years’ emphyteutic leave.
The Chapel is equiped with sound, light and video installations, it’s heated in the winter, has a small workshop, a kitchen, a studio and other spaces that can be found in the full-basement, ready or in process. The sound studio for example is now sheltering Jean-Luc Aimé, composer, for a 2 year residence.
