Regarde bien ce que je suis

A sprawling exploration of Art Brut, this durational stage project weaves five distinct propositions — a lecture, a monologue, a choral piece, a rock concert and a plastic installation — into a single evening-length journey. The work stages homage and celebration, inviting the audience to follow a game of clues that reveals singular creative necessities. Staging shifts between intimate testimony and full-throttle sonic ensemble, producing moments of quiet astonishment and communal intensity.

Written and directed by Raphaëlle Farman, this musical comedy follows six eccentric lottery winners whose most improbable dreams suddenly come within reach.
