Created in may 2022, revival in September 2025 for the United States
Audience: All ages
Duration: 45 minutes
This creation features around thirty participants of all ages representing a human community, resembling a chorus made of ice feet.
A visual and choreographic project that connects us and heightens our sensitivity to the world we inhabit.
Through an ephemeral, collective performance designed for public spaces, puppeteer Élise Vigneron, in collaboration with circus artist Eleonora Gimenez, explores ecological issues and the traces humans leave behind. The participants, whose ice feet were molded by the artistic team, become the performers of this choreographed installation. The uniqueness of each individual, their bodies and personal stories, forms a chorus that together creates a collective identity. Here, ice reflects the fragility of the world, and its transformation into water tells the story of the ephemeral.

Photographic installation by Christophe Loiseau
In photography, I like above all the devices allowing the shifts. Those who intertwine reality and fiction, natural and artificial lights. I situate myself at the place of this separation, transformed by the staging of the space that composes it and the events that take place there. When everything is in place, there is always a moment when this little galaxy that we have organized liquefies to leave all its place to the unexpected. – Christophe Loiseau
The photographic project carried out with Christophe Loiseau is presented in the form of situations of the participants with their feet of ice, collective and individual portraits, putting in play our human existence with the ephemeral character of the ice, materialized by the various states of fusion. These portraits give rise to a specific installation, they are the trace of this common artistic adventure.
