TRACES by Théâtre de L’Entrouvert

A participatory project/performance by Elise Vigneron with a group of up to 40 people—and feet cast in ice.

“Traces” represents a human community, featuring thirty participants of all ages, through the image of a choir made of ice feet. A plastic and choreographic project that connects us and makes us sensitive to the world we live in.

Through an ephemeral and collective performance conceived for a public space, Élise Vigneron in collaboration with circus artist Eleonora Gimenez question the ecological stakes and the traces left by human beings as they pass through the world. The participants, their feet cast in ice by the artistic team, are the actors of this choreographed installation. The singularity of each member, their bodies and the individual stories, form a chorus and discover their collective identity. The ice mirrors the fragility of the world and its transformation into water, the ephemeral nature of human experience and narrative.
