(2021) with costume designer and performer Élise Ehry; for Clovis' sons (keep fighting), for those whose legs were heavy once or always are. Magnets rain thrown by Anna Koutsafti. At La Box, Bourges.
Exploration of the lining: the fragile, mute but essential underlying membrane of any edifice. We worked with fabric found between Ploumoguer and Saint-Denis. The technique of “enervation” guided us, a so-called sentence having condemned the rebellious sons of Clovis II to drift down the Seine, the nerves in their legs burnt. Without nerves, they could not face their parent governors and ended up horizontal on a bed, transformed into a ship leaving the capital.
These pieces are partly featured in the publication Safety Nets, produced at the end of the residency.
