Intensités was created at the end of 2006, on the initiative of Maguelone Vidal with the purpose of developing contemporary musical productions within the structures of other artistic fields and generating multi-sensory live performances.
The action of Intensités is perceived simultaneously as a mission to initiate and develop artistic creations, to establish social links and to share the performing arts for a common good.
