WELCOME

We are welcomed by three figures illuminated in an immaculate white space. The continuous transformation of their bodies and metamorphosis of their voices, pirouetting from one body to the next through the magic of ventriloquism, create hybrid beings with multiple stories. Poetic, unclassifiable moments come from the gap between what is said, what is meant and how it is interpreted. The trio oscillate between the comical and the strange, between irony and absurdity. Through these dissociated bodies, WELCOME humorously invites us to go towards the other.
