ˈstɔːriz • Creation 2018-2019
Every day, we receive situations, images, sounds and we translate them instinctively. Our senses, shaped by interpretation parameters gained over time, associate a logic and an intention to every event.
For the duet stɔːriz, I was wiiling to work on situations diversion and on narration shifting.
To that purpose, I focused on the body as evocative organism, and its different means of espression and intentions.
I start from the postulate that flesh is a substance to model, to knead, to scuplt, from which forms and figures can compe up ; a malleable body seen as an ensemble of textures, vibrations, resonances, crossroads of expressions and stories.
Considered as a narrative factory, ‘stɔːriz is a duet where everything is constantly in transformation, between what we see, hear and live.

WELCOME • Creation 2022
WELCOME comes within the scope of the work on relation/dissocation between the body and the voice, intiated with ‘stɔːriz. It’s built on shifts in meaning and images, appearing in a contradictory sound cloud.
The slow walk at the beginning initiates a continue transformation of the bodies, passing from a matieral to another and shape an ensemble of textures, vibrations, resonances, creating stories, expressions and tales.
The voices change continously, spinning from a body to another, weaving singly or all together, sculpting and questioning senses and interpretations. They raise in contradiction, in polyphony, in unison or in reverse.
Through dissociation, accumulation ou contradiction between what happen with the bodies and with the voices, strangeness, irony or even absurdity emerge from the situations : emotion surfaces from these unclassifiable moments, from the discrepancy between what is sais, signified and interpreted.
