Geumhyung Jeong: Toy Under Development

Choreographed and performed by Geumhyung Jeong, this conference-performance blends video projection and sound to examine the uneasy relation between the human body and surrounding objects. Jeong revisits works from Homemade RC Toy (2019) to Under Construction (2024), sharing development anecdotes and reflections on robotics, installation and puppetry. By reworking gestures originally designed to animate objects and performing them without props, she exposes the body as material, using nudity and minimal staging to evoke ritual and altered agency.

Led by Florence Melnotte (piano, synth, koassilator, vocals), with Louis Billette (saxophones, flugelhorn, vocals) and Sylvain Fournier (drums, vocals), Les Ancêtres du Futur conjure an aesthetic shock that blends anachronism and urgent invention.

Lighting and dynamics create a shimmering, tense atmosphere, transporting listeners through uncanny forms that feel both nostalgic and startlingly new.
