Reface

REFACE is a physical and musical research around the idea of ​​transformation, deformation and alteration of materials. Everything is just transition: our body, memory, the social environment, flora, romantic relationships, political powers… Movement infiltrates everything and prevents the creation of definitive and frank forms. We work on this instability on an intimate scale because faces and emotions are cloudy and plural. REFACE wants to make visible this state of transition, these imperceptible and incessant metamorphoses which make manifest the complexity of what we are. REFACE expresses this: the impossible discernment of oneself and the other. Far from being a failure, it is a mystery, a stimulating uncertainty which becomes an inexhaustible source of inspiration for our bodies and our imaginations. We want REFACE to be a place where we can play, contradict ourselves, disturb ourselves, where we can emancipate ourselves from a fixed identity and the oppressive labels we impose on ourselves. We take ourselves for one or another, we replay postures, simulate the looks and expressions of our idols and our ghosts. We go from animal to color, from bourgeoisie to revolution, from obsolete to contemporary, from star to banal. We are one! Who is it ? What is this? A ghost or a vampire? A child or old people? Laughter or terror? Impossible to answer. Nothing is fixed or named. Everything is confusion and illusion. Games and tricks. Cinema and lies.
