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.

The trio’s sound balances lyrical phrasing with rhythmic subtlety; lighting and silence shape moments of suspended time, inviting a contemplative, warm atmosphere that reimagines harmonic conversation in the moment.
