Two faces, infinite transformations – REFACE. Lise Messina and Chandra Grangean, who form the collective Les Idoles, have created a series of portraits: ethereal figures, straight out of David Lynch’s films or Cindy Sherman’s photographs. On stage, in full view, they erase, distort and transform their image. They slowly sculpt shifting identities that are deliberately ambiguous. Norms shift and appearances slip away.
