Artistic vision

“

As a female artist directing our exploration, I chose to play a support role, rather than a strictly choreographer role. Collectively supervising a space for three artists and allowing them to expose and confront their own vulnerability would never have been possible without François, Jean-Benoît and Frédérique’s incredible trust and dedication. The piece is not about trying to find an answer to vulnerability, but rather about exposing human transparency.
