Etiquette




Lille, October 2018

Because it affects citizen identity, requires a lot of organization and traditions are numerous, marriage is a highly scriptural act. There is pell-mell the deposit of a file in town hall, announcements, a wedding gift list, the publication of the banns, the parish registers, an act of marriage, a family record book, a contract, the writing of speechs, a seating plan, a playlist and even a website. The assemblage of these layers prepares the advent and, at the same time, makes the entity “newly weds”.
Here, the flower boys and girls inform the audience of the entry of the bride and introduce a farcical dramaturgy just before she walks down the aisle of the Church.
