Text in French

Three motionless, impassive figures observe us, commenting on the things they are supposed to see. Yet their lips don’t move, and their bodies gradually come together, creating a very real sensation of presence, while ventriloquism grips us by the throat.

W̶E̶L̶COME does indeed “welcome’, but it also confuses us through the ambiguous dissociation or dialogue between voice and body, between the hilarity of the text that goes wild and crazy and the ever-subtle withdrawal of the three performers. Joachim Maudet plays on these contrasts to take the emotion into new, out-of-sync spaces, much as we sometimes are deep down inside.
