Summary/Abstract: This article, born of a reflection initiated at the research seminar conducted by Patrice Pavis, questions the forms of multidisciplinary plays. How can dancing seize painting and enrich the picture with currents meanings? Dancers, like Joseph Nadj or Trisha Brown, used to draw during the show. Sometimes, choreographers draw their inspiration from a canvas of the past that echoes the present. This is the case of Gaëlle Bourges whose play we are going to discuss here: "Conjurer la peur", which evokes a fresco by Ambrogio Lorenzetti.
