Talk
Yvain Juillard | actor, writer, director, PhD candidate in Art and Art Sciences (Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, ULB/INSAS), artistic director of company Les Faiseurs de réalités asbl.
Without realising it, we live within a representation of the world that our brain constructs. Our eyes are like windows and our brain is like a projector that places us, moment by moment, within a certain reality, even when we are dreaming. Consumerist marketing and political propaganda specifically target the very process by which our representation of the world is formed, in order to distort it. Without realising it, we can therefore be misled and act against our individual and collective interests.
Yvain Juillard writes performances that straddle the boundary between theatre and cognitive neuroscience. His lecture-performance Cerebrum, le faiseur de réalités has been awarded the COCOF’s ‘public utility’ label and has been acclaimed by the CNRS. In 2021, he received the DGCA’s theatre research prize. Ad Dicere, his latest production, explores our addictive relationship with money and AI. He teaches cinematic language and cognitive neuroscience at INSAS. A pioneer in bridging these disciplines, he is currently pursuing a PhD in Art and Art Sciences at the ULB.
