Anima, a performance-installation imagined by artist and photographer Noémie Goudal and by theatre director Maëlle Poésy, exposes us to a physical sensation of time.

Inspired by the research of palaeoclimatologists, this immersive artistic experiment takes as its point of departure the fascination for extreme transformations of landscapes that are slow and invisible to our eyes and question our spatial and temporal needs.
The presentation places the public at the heart of a living triptych in the form of a tableau in a permanent movement of destruction and reconstruction of nature. Chloé Thévenin's audio creation augments this idea of illusion, blending real sounds of water and jungle with created electronic music. At the heart of the presentation, performers Chloé Moglia and Mathilde Van Volsem remain in suspension, fragile and impermanent before incommensurable geological time.
