TENDER LABYRINTHS · JUNE-sept 2027
Multidisciplinary experience
JUNE - SEPTEMBER 2027
The body is a complex labyrinth of vital repetitions. It swallows, digests, breathes, pulses, desires, rejects, repairs, remembers, forgets, partially dies, and is endlessly reborn. It constantly changes in order to stay alive.
This observation works as a metaphor for our lives. We move forward by repeating gestures, habits, choices, thoughts. We sometimes believe we are returning to the same point, retracing the same movements, crossing the same fears or the same desires. And yet, no repetition is ever perfectly identical.
Every experience leaves a trace, shifts something. We never stop becoming other, often in ways so subtle they are almost imperceptible.
Tender Labyrinths is born from the desire to bring a gentler attention to these transformations. Tender as a quality of listening: a way of making ourselves available to what happens within us, without immediately trying to control it, correct it, or understand it.
Through this performative installation, we seek to create an environment encouraging a deep listening to our metamorphoses, so as to make them perceptible with a particular intensity. Over the course of a free wandering, each participant will encounter a succession of experiences engaging the body and the senses.
How can we perceive what is already changing? And how can we stop trying to control it, and instead learn to listen to it with attention, curiosity, and tenderness?
