Mehryl Ferri Levisse - Le Lectrice et Le Pénitent
From the first time (2019) in the library of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Le Lectrice catches up visitors’ attention when Le Pénitent walks in silence in the same exhibition spaces and sometimes rings the death knell.
Between freak show, cabaret and carnaval, Mehryl Ferri Levisse explores physical theaters with many hybrid and illusory creatures that blur the lines between genres and species.

Vincent Volkart - Les Récits d'Yves, acte III, Les Picoudouks
Vincent Volkart brings us to this universe of goofy huckster. In the act III of this opera, the sculpture comes alive. The Picoudouks are present. Something will happen. But what? And when?
Graduated from the ENSBA in 2019, Vincent Volkart presents us a reversed world where subjects and objects exchange their roles with human having less control.

Véronique Hubert - Chorale Mix : Utopia et les t-shirts bavards
It’s about real people singing fake songs, more or less. Véronique Hubert mixes and arranges elements of all kinds. Overproductive, she responds with her works to the incessant flow of information. She borrows, quotes, diverts, recycles the texts of others. There are many versions of Véronique Hubert inside her body: we follow the adventures of her alter ego characters (Mimicry, The Utopia Fairy) or immerse ourselves in her romantic escapades (Noutres).
Véronique Hubert plays with excessiveness to give on purpose a sensation of surplus by accumulating and repeating images, phrases and gestures.

Jordan R̶o̶g̶e̶r̶ - YOLO, Carpe Diem
With YOLO, Carpe Diem, Jordan Roger, on behalf of an entire generation, witness a world where the apocalypse is overly predicted. To avoid the end of the world, Jordan provides a virulent and drastic solution ---- lip sync on the Little Mermaid, Lana del Rey, Shrek 2 and Kate Bush. Jordan Roger invents lines to replace those symbolic prince-princess ones, providing a strange view on the dominating order.
Jordan R̶o̶g̶e̶r̶ is a young artist from the Academy of Fine Arts of Bourges. He currently lives in Paris. He revisits queer, homosexual and camp clichés, turning them into joyful installations in which transvestism is at the heart of his work.
