Talos, the giant in Greek mythology whose role was to protect Crete and Europe from invaders, has lent his name to a European technology project whose mission is to use a robot to detect illegal presences along our borders. A perpetual migrant himself, Arkadi Zaides has taken the intention in this piece, somewhere between a lecture and a performance, to explore the political and ethical consequences such a project might have. Since his last work, Arkadi Zaides, who was born in Belarus then became a resident of Israel and is now welcomed in various European countries, has focused on issues of the body confronted with the violence of migration.

His research is based on the body as a receptacle of upheavals in history, using several art forms and a documentary quest combining interviews, archives and demonstrations.

This is the theme that he plans to work on with students from ISAC during a week-long workshop. At the end of the week he will show his own project Talos, which is being staged for the first time in French with Lara Barsacq.
