The Magma Chamber
Creators: Hugues Girard, Shantala Pèpe, Antonin De Bemels
Seated behind closed doors between a white wall and a white table, a faceless woman is embodied in a series of menacing, sonorous figures, like so many disquieting voices inhabiting her. Crossed by creatures from the collective imagination of fairy tales, she becomes the playground and battleground of female entities vying for the same territory. The body, never exposed in its entirety, is deconstructed and fragmented into a primal, voracious bestiary threatening its own sovereignty. Is she a witch, a spider-woman, a goddess, a she-wolf or a carnivorous plant? And will these triumph over the woman they've colonized? The Magma Chamber is a speech without words, a cry without a voice that tells of the violence and ambivalence contained in the archetypes that structure female identity. source: shantalapepe.net
