Desc: Àjáso, une philoperformance: Directed by Gentian Koçi. It is necessary to be a visionary, to become a visionary. At the initiative of the research team in philosophy, at the University of Toulouse 2-Jean Jaurès, an informal group of international researchers and doctoral students from Erasmus Mundus EuroPhilosophie, constitute a collective aiming at reflecting and experimenting around the practice of what they call "a philosophical performance": the group Àjáso. Their work began in autumn 2013. It is the subject of the documentary Àjáso, une philo-performance, realised under the direction of the Albanian director, Gentian Koçi. The documentary had its premiere at the University of Paris-Sorbonne in June 2014 in the framework of the international conference on "Théâtre, Performance, Philosophie". Contrary to the academic practice of philosophy, instituted based on a double a priori, that of bibliographic production and immaterialization (in the sense that, on one hand, it consists entirely in writing books intended to be reciprocally and nominally quoted and dated, and where, on the other hand, it is dispensed with concrete materials and effective gestures, actually accomplished), the group Àjáso explores the practice of philosophy as a set of operations, of concrete, instantaneous, indestructible, impersonal, unrecordable, incentive acts and gestures, by using a living, verbal, textual, acoustic, visual, plastic, musical, cinematographic, singularly arranged, borrowed or created, material.
