2022
Vivanto produces the live cinema show “Les Guetteuses” written and directed by Fabien Clouette and Jeremie Brugidou. An in situ show, in and around the semaphore of the Besnard Island (Saint-Coulom, 35) on September 10th and 11th, 2022.
Pitch
The level of the oceans has risen dramatically. In a semaphore surrounded by water, a mother passes on to her daughter the role of Golden Ear, these analysts who listen to the underwater environment. The moment of the handover is the occasion for the daughter to openly question her mother about her past, about the meaning of their role, about the future of their isolated presence. The figure of the absent father invites itself little by little in the exchange between the two women, and with this figure, a mysteriously luminous presence. Spheres colonized by bioluminescent organisms are stranded by hundreds around the base. Loneliness, the absence of the father, these mysterious apparitions rejected by the waves as they wash ashore, push the two women to build a singular relationship with the world, between magical thinking and scientificity, in the image of our contemporary view of the oceans.
