Performance « a utopian world? » / Isola – Île de St-Pierre / 12-26.08.23

Through this story, I performed a piece reflecting this journey and these reflections, in collaboration with Ines for the physical interpretation, Noël for the lighting, and Jean20, who created a brand-new soundtrack specifically for the occasion.

Over two years, I developed a transversal project combining painting, drawing, writing, scenography, performance, and lectures, nurtured by artistic residencies and personal research. The first year was marked by deep reflection on our lifestyle in overdeveloped Western societies and an exploration of sustainable and alternative ways of living, notably within the Longomaï network.

The second year transformed this research into concrete and positive action: participating in a cooperative in the Jura, and creating an installation on Saint-Pierre Island composed of twelve paintings accompanied by texts, offering an immersive and hopeful narrative, demonstrating that well-rooted sustainable alternatives already exist.
