Innovative Formats

Natixis Corporate & Investment Banking Green Summit 2024 dedicated a special place to the arts and innovative media & participative formats, which we believe are a great medium of awareness and mobilization. 

Arts are a great lever to help building the much-needed narratives to steer action or at least to help understanding the dissonances we all need to work with or around. Artist collaboration featured a variety of performing arts and a photo exhibition as a testimony that creativity is an essential means to overcome limits to rational reasoning, to shift perspective and to handle uncertainty. 

Improvisation

DISSONANCE

Théâtre-Forum 
A participatory play featuring theatrical improvisation and a theatre forum format, during which spectators co-constructed the scenes and joined the actors on stage. 

Debate Shows

BRITISH DEBATING

Often referred to as the "British Parliamentary" style, British Debating is one of the most popular formats used in competitive debating, especially in the UK. This innovative format, led by company Debate Mate, consists in approaching topics by developing arguments for the Proposition (those in favor of the motion) or the Opposition (those against the motion). The debate is then led by professional debaters while opinion in the room is regularly gauged by votes.

Theatre Play

UNE ANNEE DE RECHAUFFEMENT

An original theatre creation by the improvisation theater company Les Eux, performed for the first time at the Natixis CIB Green Summit. The play featured the initiatory journey of Frédéric, an eco-anxious citizen seeking answers to the ecological crisis. He navigates life by breaking old habits and confronting the limits of extreme consumption and militantism. The play also presented a plethora of characters showcasing the dissonances we all face, wonderfully portrayed by three versatile actors. 

Live TV Show

GREEN HUB TV SHOW  

A real TV set with broadcast live sessions to innovative and participative formats contributing to enlarge diffusion impact.

Photo Exhibition

“GROUND NOISE”: PHOTO EXHIBITION

A photo exhibition by Céline Clanet, which was curated to bring another perspective on the topic of biodiversity preservation focusing the world of tiny living beings of insects and flora.

Role Play

KOULINKAX CRISIS MEETING

Theatrical improvisation was invited to the Green Summit as a metaphorical and methodological tool for understanding the uncertain.
In this session, led by EUX Company, the audience was invited to a participatory crisis meeting set on the fictional planet Koulinkax, where the growing scarcity of resources mirrors the world's climate challenges, all presented in a humorous and engaging way.
