La Caresse du Coma is situated in a Croatian spa, where currently a happiness gathering is taking place: “I have been staying in a four-star hotel-spa in the heart of Croatia for about forty days now, during a gathering of people who are in search of happiness. Within the group, they each have a transitory status: as I am new, I am automatically a DOG, ‘a loving machine’, and my number is 23.”

La Caresse du Coma consists of multiple chapters, smoothly drifting from one to the other. In each chapter, Anne Lise Le Gac adjusts her subject, constantly attempting to bastardise reality to let fiction ooze in. This relation to fiction is born from a desire to redefine our relationship with the ‘other’ – whether it be human, digital, animal, or vegetal.

In French with english surtitles.

LOTO RETINA # gnom n bass
A live performance in which a semi-dancing chaos is composed with velocity and fantasy, inhabited by struck, scraped, caressed percussions and semi-humanoid onomatopoeia. The samples are jostling and jumping around like in a cartoon.
