J'AIME BEAUCOUP ICI
/ Performance based on urban explorations · from age 14 · 85'
With a curiosity for details, Isabelle Jonniaux explores our urban spaces and lets her gaze and her thoughts drift. Tags, bins, signs, encounters: so many elements that she brings to the stage to weave them into multiple narratives.

J'AIME BEAUCOUP ICI is a project that is envisaged in situ , in a writing of proximity and an intimate relationship with the geography of the place of reception.
The project aims to be a sharing of reflections and narrative recompositions based on extracts from reality. A physical and philosophical wandering that speaks of our relationship to space, to others and to the links that are woven in the city. A sharing of experience that questions our ability to see what surrounds us. An invitation to reflect on our world; an incentive to fight the indifference that threatens our urban lifestyles.
The stage performance is carried by Isabelle Jonniaux. It is fed by different writings: exploration notes, intimate narrations, reflective texts, visual montages, sound compositions... Photography takes an important place in the device which is designed as an installation inside which the public is encouraged to move.
​
The stake of the creation is to conceive itself in connection with the geography of the place of reception.
The “re-creation” in situ and the integration of the local dimension is an intrinsic component of the project.

"J’aime beaucoup ici" by Isabelle Jonniaux at Le Varia:
urban drift, human desires.
The latest stop—Brussels—of this performance, conceived and performed by Isabelle Jonniaux, took shape at Studio Varia. Sensitive, subtle, funny—a call to awaken our gaze.
