A project on the border between live performance and contemporary art installation.

Làoùtesyeuxseposent is a free and playful figure. A hybrid performance without visible actors on stage in which matter, objects have a
autonomy creating a disrupted utopia.
We invite the spectators to be anthropologists for a time in the heart of an allegorical garden that becomes the central puppet character. A living and vibrant landscape, enigmatic and moving, even disturbing, posing the problem of the place of humans in a devastated ecosystem. A dramaturgy that does not seek the story but rather symbolic juxtapositions of images between the Vanities of the 17th century and a baroque chaos in which objects and materials seem autonomous, sometimes mechanical but noticeably porous to each other.
The two actor-manipulators are hidden in the stage module. In a very archaic way, without technology, they create this landscape. Their underground, meticulous, physical and sensitive human action is very present and allows the mutation of the images.
The only visible performer, the musician Thomas Quinart, saxophonist and composer of contemporary music, creates sound sensations on stage in counterpoint to the images. He is the musical witness of this visual poem.

During each performance, from the invisible inside, the two manipulators have a video device on them and film themselves live and continuously. At the exit, the underground film of human actions will be available on the Avignon Festival website with a code word for each performance.
Where your eyes rest is a contemporary, plastic and free Vanity.
