Invocations – Juliette Lizotte

Le Commun

Free

“Invocations” is an interactive installation blending textiles and sound to explore themes of heresy, power, and belief systems. Drawing inspiration from witch hunts and Geneva’s historical transformations, this piece ventures into the realm of the fantastical, envisioning a world beyond conventional perception. Participants engage in a Live Action Role Play (LARP), delving into collaborative storytelling through game mechanics connected to oral, textual, and corporeal archives. This inclusive workshop requires no prior experience, fostering co-creation and collective reflection.
