I.D.L. (Icone of Desire Lost)

"This performance addresses the question of the body in being or in appearing, in what each of us has built to exist as a social animal at a time when the influence of the media, consumer products, advances technological and medical, imposes an image constructed from scratch, unattainable for ordinary people.

The results of the American dream and the entertainment society of the 1960s, based on an economic ideology legitimizing the universality of a single vision of life, imposed by united media, are today a society dreaming of omnipotence, of perfection and eternity. Indeed, the artillery of the current media still rests on a unique but completely fanciful, inhuman, even divine model, the imitation of which leads to the loss of the living of life. The individual systematically puts himself in a situation of failure to resemble this image, to be an object of desire.

A woman, like a plastic figurine in a cardboard setting, tries in vain to maintain her fantasy of a perfect woman. His body fails, humanity is heard. The sound transcribes his mistakes, accentuates his poses, his slightest mimicry. Looping, locked in her own image, she crosses the mirror and surrenders completely, clinging like a puppet to the fantasies of a society lacking in landmarks. " Sir alice
