Two people are living their everyday lives. Stuck on a loop in a common space, each of them is however confined in its own world. Between tragedy and joy, these figures reveal their imaginary world, past and loneliness through particular gestures in echo with their surroundings. Taming their objets, the protagonists find one another : they are continuously trying to make contact with the « other ».
They metamorphose and get dressed in their own outfits. Drawing on the daily objects, the electronic devices and the fantastic, these individuals become creatures, invent a hybrid language and recreate their own rituals. Through these artifices and by shaping the space, mutant bodies spread out, free themselves and carry us away in their realm.
Brother and sister, Alice and Adrien started together. Creation and dance have been a link since childhood. They developed a practice in which they utilise their environment and take inspiration from their daily lives in order to re-invent themselves and fabricate a sense of extraordinary. They manipulate objects, sounds and spaces. They combine different mediums and rely a lot on self-learning processes.
In Echoes’ Fantasy (working title) they highlight the emotional dimension growing towards objects but also towards technological devices which, through the Internet, have allowed further possibilities for escape. They stage their loneliness, the lack of contact with the "other" and pay a tribute to these objects-extensions that transformed them. Starting from still materials they are however desperately seeking for living, flesh, bones and organic.
Echoes’ Fantasy reveals their familiar and weird relationship they nourish in between them through their fabrics-accessories. They absorb everything and create a fantastic new landscape where are standing together monstrous and poetic creatures.
