Forces is a futuristic and immersive ritual in which three female figures take us into a whirlwind of primary, telluric, and technological forces. Like cyborg, warrior, shamans, these women draw on the invisible to make of their bodies, the vector of a vital, collective, emancipatory metamorphosis.
As in ATOMIC 3001, Leslie Mannès, Thomas Turine and Vincent Lemaître continue to explore the triangular and fusional relationship between body, sound and light to provoke a total sensory experience for the viewer.
FORCES calls onto the irrational to celebrate the power of the living by staging, a constantly changing, permeable body, a body connected to the elements, chaos, joy and community trying to re-appropriate its inner power.
