Collaborative performance realized with the people living in a territory

CRÉATION mai 2022 reprise en septembre 2025 pour les Etats-Unis

All audiences
Duration 45 minutes

This creation features about thirty participants of all ages representing a human community, like a choir composed of ice feet.

A plastic and choreographic project that connects us and makes us sensitive to the world we live in.

Through an ephemeral and collective performance conceived for the public space, the puppeteer Élise Vigneron in collaboration with the circus artist Eleonora Gimenez question the ecological stakes and the traces left by Man after his passage. The participants, whose feet were cast in ice by the artistic team, are the actors of this choreographed installation. La singularité de chacun, les corps et les récits individuels, forment alors un chœur et trouve ensemble une identité collective. The ice is here the mirror of the fragility of the world and its transformation into water, the story of the ephemeral.

TRACES blends sculpture, sound, and movement to tell a unique story of the beauty and pain in our individual journeys and collective humanity. In TRACES, Vigneron will bring a poetic sensibility to the interdependence of humans with one another and the environment.”

Télérama

“Tel un choeur mêlant leurs voix , aux moulages de leurs pieds, les participants révèlent leur rapport singulier au monde dans le contexte désormais prégnant de la crise écologique.”

Thierry Voisin – Telerama

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.
