Julien Bruneau - A door opened onto a garden, delineating the cusp of where inside meets out
How are we inhabited by the places we inhabit? Places affect us, they direct and colour our thoughts and behaviours. Far from being an inert stage, space is itself expressive, active, potent. How to make ourselves available to this preeminent, yet neglected, dimension of experience? This question is at the heart of Genius Loci, a performance addressing domestic places through a simple practice of presence that invites the home of people to unfold as a dynamic web of interactions. While the podcast discusses this approach, it also enacts principles of it. How then to convene with a shared sense of ‘being there’ in a format where deferred time and multiplicity of locations is the rule? What kind of dwelling opens up between the speaker and the listeners, between the moment of recording and that of listening?
Thanks to Maya Dalinsky, Anouk Llaurens and Sonia Si Ahmed for their long-term collaboration.
Anne Lise Le Gac & Loto Retina - La Caresse du Coma ft. YOLO
I have been staying in a four star spa in Croatia for about 40 days now, at a gathering of people who are in search of Happiness, convinced that they live in a world FOREVER ALIVE. Within the group, they each have a transitional status: as I am new, I am automatically a DOG, ‘a loving machine’, and my number is 23. In this featuring, DOG (23) meets LIQUID VIRGIN, the spectral figure of the movement. Her presence is manifested by a breath called YOLO, a kind of primordial atmosphere, a contact like a ‘big passing shot’ that DOG (23) will have no choice but to inhale and spit out. YOLO is the fourth featuring of La Caresse du Coma, a pirate conversation by Anne Lise Le Gac in collaboration with the musician Loto Retina.
