Welcome the Swaying
This project flirts with sexuality, through the use of bondage and nudidity of a female body. Indeed, today in western countries these two registers are almost constantly leading to a sexual suggestion.
However, the interaction offered to the public is a simple exploration of the relationship taking place between present people.
Who is in charge? Who gives oneself? Who orders? Who obeys? Who takes care? Who abuses? Who is scared? Who enjoys?
By turns, participants, audience and performer experience contradictory emotions reflecting the complexity of power dynamics setting in every human interaction.

L'accueil du Ressac
Ce projet flirte avec la sexualité, par l’utilisation du bondage et de la nudité d’un corps féminin. En effet, en occident ces deux registres sont quasiment systématiquement associés à une suggestion sexuelle.
Pourtant, l’interaction proposée au public est une simple exploration de la relation qui se met en place entre les personnes présentes.
Qui est en charge? Qui se donne? Qui ordonne? Qui obéit? Qui prend soin? Qui abuse? Qui a peur? Qui jouit?
Participant-e-s, public et performeuse sont tour à tour traversé-e-s par des émotions contradictoires reflétant la complexité des dynamiques de pouvoir qui s’installent dans toute interaction.
