This publication project is the sibling project first initiated in the form of a choreographic performance entitled 1, 2, maybe 3, choreographed by by jean & syd and scenographed by Pénélope and Chloë, in creation since 2018 and presented at the Centaur theater in 2022. Inspired by issues such as documentation, performative and transdisciplinarity, the two collectives created a work-object in order to give a second form to their common reflections. By also inviting the author Mimi Haddam to appropriate the already existing material of the performance, the aim is to add a narrative and poetic scope to the documentary and visual dimension of the project. Finally, this work-object wishes to offer readers a sensory value by focusing on tactile reading thanks to the numerous possible textures and manipulation devices; This interactive aspect is anchored in the desire of the artists involved to share their performative experience.
The book was launch at Hoy, Mtl October 2022.
