Fascinated with utter idiosyncrasies, Geslin follows up on his 2004 portrait of surrealist photographer Pierre Molinier by applying the same empathy to explore the life and work of Joë Bousquet. Paralyzed by an injury to his spine, Joë Bousquet guides us like a man who lost his way and marches with his eyes closed, terrified of his own nightmare.

Gurshad Shaheman, Dany Boudreault
Sur tes traces

Theatre

The piece takes us a road-trip in the form of a double portrait involving two destinies, namely those of Gurshad Shaheman born in Iran, and Dany Boudreault in Quebec. Authors, directors and performers, the two artists got to know each other in Europe. Here, each of them sets off in search of their respective pasts.

Marion Duval
Cécile

TheatrePerformance

Certain encounters are life-changing. This piece is about Marion Duval's encounter with Cécile Laporte, an activist and author to whom she has decided to dedicate a show. The resulting 'truth-performance' is an inspiring one and enables us to embrace the unbearable complexity of the world in a light-hearted way.
