Ponder the identity of genders

Ask once again the question of the Other

Work the bonds as well as the distances

The power of possibilities same as the inner strength of conflict

Fathom the immensity of the loving heart the intimate unity of beings

And circumscribe it:

To the heart of love

To the bodies of the couple

To render some answers

Most often impossible ones

Or ever let other questions ring

To give life, motion and voice to emotions

To offer instants that actually were lived

To unveil feelings

To sail for the very springs of love.

With artists from diverse horizons and practices

Of Mediterranean culture or origin,  if one is to be found

Within various places and territories,

To search together or separately, but with the same will to define,

For the heart of love, the body of the couple

Its whereabouts, its words, its breath

The spaces and times wherein they evolve resonate and move.

With written texts music composed, choreographed movements, works of visual artists, audiovisual images…

Bachelard used to say: « the human being is a beehive of beings ».

To be able to build our own beehive

Without ever negating the very existence

Of each honeycomb that constitutes it.

To have each and every honeycomb exist

Same as one admires the shapes, the back and forth that bees form in their flights

Between the flower and the beehive

To take the time to flutter by before gathering

To accept honey as the mere reduction and sublimation of a long work

Regardless of the perfume of the flowers, the flights of the bees and the skies gone through

To explain then that the word miniature and its associated concept slowly came to us

That it best explains and reveals, the sense of our research as much as the architecture we desire for it:

Miniature or mystery and magic of sublimation

To reach the better for the essence of intimacy

A poetic reduction never to be destructive

As within a kaleidoscope where shapes interweave, superimpose themselves before bumping into one another to unite anew.

Freedom is given, then, to the artists to inscribe themselves within the prospect, location and time chosen

To build for each a small intimate and independent honeycomb and erect together this beehive of beings

Which will in turn show thinking men and women expressing the heart of the couple, the body of love.

Thus the concept of miniature through its mystery, its poetry, its shape and the all around design

we are willing to give the whole project, appears more judicious than that of performance; it allows to settle true and multiple resonances between the arts, the beings along with their sensitivities and identities.

It then belongs in our appetite for encounter, our desires of sharing.

Finally, it participates in the action of making the depth reach the surface

Each place, encounter and time to be lived together eventually destined to eventually become a miniature,

Each miniature being a metaphor of the body of the couple, a mirror image of the heart of love,

Each future miniature destined to directly echo or become the discreet palimpsest of the former…

Up to taking the shape, as the residencies proceed and the work is accomplished: this beehive of beings.

These miniatures will thus be the resultant of the many manners of artistic expressions:

Such as the writing of texts, choreography, music or yet video works, voice, sounds, painting…
