▶︎ New Hero·in·es

▶︎ Radiatio III
▶︎ Listening to Images

▶︎ Batômb Batômb ! 🎶
A moment of sharing with soprano Claron McFadden, sound artist Rokia Bamba and the choir Les InvisiblesLe Comité des Femmes Sans-Papiers). A joint creation based on personal stories about the intimacy and universality of « home ». The basis of this « home » is a deep « humming » that allows us to deliver our energies, experiences, and stories.
