A Man and a woman brought together by the force of love make me think about the shape of the hull of the vessel bound by its mooring to the fascination of the dock. This whisper, this flexible gravity, these repeated bites, the proximity of the abyss, and above all, the temporary security, the link between anger and calm
René Char

Etreintes questions, in the heart of contemporary political tragedies, the place and value of direct human encounters. These events are (un)grasped or manipulated by the worrying disorder of media- toxic instruments of societies in conflict -, condemned to exist only through the simplistic figures of official protocol or the more sulphurous but just as grotesque caricatures of marginality or clandestinity.

Recent developments and the unprecedented popularity of these means of the motion capture, broadcasting and digital representation of our society lead us to alter reality according to our beliefs and our desires. We no longer see the world as it is but as we would like to see it, or not to see it, and we simulate it through our screens, our lenses, our magnifiers and other cameras by examining it and experiencing it through all kinds of artefacts: cropped images, re-recorded sounds, amplified connections. By superimposing the real and its symbolic representations, the sphere of multimedia blurs the simple gesture of meeting.

This loss of reality paradoxically gives the image and those who master it great power. Images occupy the entire range of human relations. Static, moving or synthetic images… may these therefore be substitutes for meeting people and developments that those meetings lead to?

Given this form of suspension or manipulation of reality, can we develop or cause to be developed areas to be used for capturing these events? Creating creases in the real world so as to better grasp and "seek to embrace the other"

This is the meaning of this work which, from an atypical stage setting, calls to the audience to meet one another, to (re)grasp the other through the points of view of the distant actors, dancers and musicians before the eyes of the distant public.
