Opening of Nicolas Klotz and Elisabeth Perceval

Screening and performance

On February 2, 2017

Special screening of Mata Atlântica at 6 pm

A long time ago, the Mata Atlântica forest stretched from Argentina to Paraguay. Today it has practically disappeared. In the heart of São Paulo, Trianon Park contains within its gates the remains of this immense tropical forest who’s spirits still haunts and roams among the trees. One day, a young woman disappears in the park. An employee of the park is arrested by the police, but soon other girls start to disappear.

Improvised performance by dancer Sophia Gaspard at 7:30 pm

The cinema interrogates our bodies. Both those of the actors and the audience. The boundary between the two is so thin and at the same time so real. What energies flow between them ?

In this performance, the dancer Sophia Gaspard explores inside and around this boundary. She herself becomes the boundary, between the walls where the images and sounds of Je sais courir mais je ne sais pas m’enfuir still reverberate, with the music and the audience. (Music: Ulysse Klotz)
