Les idoles

Our working approach: searching, searching, stealing references, slipping into the skin of another, reincarnating, (de)mystifying,… We are a tribute collective, crossed by a thousand references, cinematographic, photographic and musical. Thank you grandma Gisou for her topless shot on the beach in Saint-Tropez, thank you Beyoncé for her widely plagiarized Countdown clip from Rosas danst Rosas by Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker and thank you Buster Keaton for your hip swing in The play house. This work space that we want to be unique and offbeat allows us to question the images that surround us from the most popular to the most elitist, from the most iconic to the most trivial. Who are the figures that we adore? Which ones do we forget or which persist over time? From bodily and musical research we create projects, hybrid performances that are often offbeat and/or anachronistic. We like to play with codes, change viewing angles and divert images that are too static. Thus the question of the gaze and the relationship with the public runs through our work and forces us to reinvent ourselves: ourselves and our relationship to space. The Les Idoles collective is part of the LA FEAT platform.
