FORCES is a futuristic and immersive ritual where three female figures carry us away in a whirlwind of primary, telluric and technological forces. Like cyborg warrior shamans, these smugglers draw on the invisible, to make their bodies the vector of a vital, collective, emancipatory metamorphosis.

​

In the wake of ATOMIC 3001, Leslie Mannès, Thomas Turine and Vincent Lemaître continue to explore the triangular and fusional relationship between body, sound and light, in order to provoke in the viewer a sensory, total and inclusive experience.

FORCES uses the irrational to celebrate the power of the living by featuring a permeable body in constant mutation, a body connected to the elements, to chaos, to joy and to the community trying to re-appropriate its power from within.

"The power from within is the power from below,

from the dark, from the earth, the power that comes

of our blood, our lives and our desire

passionate about living things. It's the power to feel

to heal, to love, to create, to give shape to
our future, to change our social structures. ”

FORCES, a telluric knot of dancing powers.
The piece unfolds through the progressive intensification of the three performers. A simple structure, yet saturated with sensations, made denser by music and lighting, acting as elemental forces.

These girls are fierce, they build up strength, and when the light is brighter, they look at us with confidence. The repetitive writing enters us as if a shaman or a medium had possessed us. Forces is a bomb that shows how a robotic gesture can become mystical.
