J'AIME BEAUCOUP ICI
Isabelle Jonniaux/In Vivo 5.12
Stage performance based on urban explorations
Creation April 2022 - 60'
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 weaves into scenic stories where bodies, words, sounds, photos and videos intermingle, like so many mirrors of our utopias and our contemporary fractures. Between performance and installation , an invitation to fight indifference, to sharpen our gaze and to celebrate the human...despite everything!

This performance is the result of a research process conducted at L'L | Recherche autrement en arts vivants (Brussels).
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.
