A hypnotic facial striptease.
REFACE is a physical and musical exploration of transformation. The two performers metamorphose before our very eyes, moving from one image to another, from one posture to another, confusing us and blurring our bearings. Who are they? What is she? Is it a ghost? A child? Laughter or terror? Nothing is fixed. All is confusion and illusion. Games and artifice. Cinema and lies.

" For REFACE, we focused not on what's fixed and established within us, but on the fact that there's movement everywhere, all the time. Our bodies, our emotions, our relationships, our flora, our memory, our relationship with history, are constantly changing... Everything is caught up in a kind of great, permanent, uncontrollable movement. François Jullien's book Les Transformations silencieuses was a great resource on the subject. In REFACE, we wanted to highlight the microchanges, the invisible but permanent micro-transformations and metamorphoses that transform and shape who we are and our environment. We worked on these micro-changes on an intimate scale, on how our body, our posture, our face are constantly transforming, without us even realizing it."
The Idols

The two artists will work with students on the theme of self-representation. They will explore the question of identity and the relationship with others. How do we spontaneously present ourselves? What do we let others see about us? Conversely, what do we hide? And how? And from whom? In the age of social networking, these questions are all the more pressing. Very often, we show just one (idealized) side of ourselves, a face subjected to multiple distorting filters. These workshops will provide a space in which to play, to transform ourselves, to change our face and body - to make it beautiful, ugly, inhuman, bizarre - to find other faces of ourselves and to let go...

The performance will be followed by a discussion led by Marie Pons, author, critic and dance researcher.

"Here's an invitation to meet in a warm café to share a conversation. Over a snack, we'll take the time to discuss the dance show we've just seen together. How do you talk about dance, how do you put into words what you've felt, analyzed and perceived? How do we describe, listen and receive? Sharing and pooling our sensitive views will create a rich, lively polyphonic experience. Marie Pons
