Tancarville

At the same time an object with multiple uses and qualities, the white sheet covers strong symbolism: it dresses a ghost, is the fabric that shelters our dreams, protects neglected objects and sometimes our memory. The sheet will be the vector of passage from the concrete to the abstract, thanks to transformations of spaces scenographed at sight. Worlds that will be brought together in a strange, disturbing or fantastic way…

Beyond the object, the guidelines forged during our first year of research revealed the need to mix two universes: a real one with “normal” characters (neighbours, workers, inhabitants…), with usual actions, favourable to the change of scenographic decorum with concrete acts; another dreamlike one, closer to our madness and dreams in which the silhouettes come out of a dream world. another dreamlike one, closer to our madness and our dreams, in which the silhouettes emerge from a collective imagination (bourgeois with big wigs, elusive spirits inspired by Japanese yokai, …). The use of the concept of ghost in the broadest sense of the term will offer a contrasting and political reading of these visible and invisible worlds, in relation to current events and the march of humanity. It is the friction of these two parallel worlds, their cohabitation, their resistance, their contamination that we want to question and put into perspective.
