A familiar yet unusual situation: in a museum, the attendants are sitting - but this time they are talking. At the MCBA, Mohamed El Khatib and Valérie Mréjen reveal the workings of museums as seen by those who watch over them. Coming from different countries and cultural contexts, ten museum attendants speak of art, visitors, and time.

In principle, their mission is to protect the exhibited works from the visitors' irrepressible desire to touch them and from possible damage or theft. Present and transparent, active and invisible, they see and hear everything, are sometimes taken to task, associated with display choices as if they were responsible. Boredom, of course, is almost constant. You have to find strategies, roll thoughts around in your head, have a little notebook. One should have an inner life or none at all.

The director Mohamed El Khatib and the author and visual artist Valérie Mréjen went to meet them, all over the world. Ten of them take to the stage as subjects and performers in this show, and their testimonies, whether melancholic or comical, distant or passionate, explore the relationship to art and reveal the political relationship between the museum and those who frequent it. A virtual and mental guided tour of museums around the world, by those who work there.
