"blurs disciplinary, linguistic and cultural boundaries, in which the strength of the whole is carried by a singular energy, between humour, (self)derision, and banal reality." - LA SERRE - arts vivants
"an interactive performance that shakes up all conventions between audience and performer" - Dfdanse

A tree, a dryer, a pile of mismatched socks: still and breathing bodies, as well as banal objects suggesting tasks to be accomplished greet the public. Objects are brought to life when recorded anecdotes of experiences within participatory art are amplified from within them in order to shed light on invisible labour and the limits of consent in performance. In a relaxed environment, the public is invited to accomplish daily tasks to be paid in return. Through these banal but essential gestures, a dynamic of exchange and collaboration is established between active and passive participants, spectators and performers. ÇA A L'AIR SYNTHÉTIQUE BONJOUR HI reveals challenges of art-making, drawing a poetic and sincere parallel with the actual context of economic insecurity.
