Rencontres d'Arles 2026

From July 6 to 8, Villa Benkemoun opened its doors by appointment, hour by hour, for a rare experience: "On Time", a work by Gerard & Kelly, developed by Bureau Future for Villa Benkemoun.
For three days, the villa reclaimed its original purpose: that of a lived-in home. At the invitation of Brigitte Benkemoun, Gerard & Kelly reactivate "Clockwork", a piece created in 2018 whose score follows the position of the numbers on a clock face.
Nine performances over three days, carried by three performers: Lenio Kaklea, Georges Labbat and Matteo Manzoni, all dressed in agnès b. for the duration of the performance.
A wardrobe that accompanies their movements without ever imposing itself, in keeping with the continuity of gesture and garment.
