For Les Infusés, Mourad Merzouki shares to Clémentine Spiler his experience in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. Invited with his company KÄFIG to perform Pixel, he had to deal with a number of questions. Does he have to travel to a country whose regime he does not support? Does he have to adapt his work to the local culture and habits ?
As a key stakeholder in cultural policy outside France, the Institut français is entrusted with a public service mission and financed by state subsidy.
The Institut français, under the dual supervision of the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture, conducts two fundamental missions:
- To promote French culture and language
- To strive for cultural diversity
To this end, it works closely with the French cultural network abroad, whose activities it aims to expand.
