Christopher, poet, writes from Chloé’s dreams, and poses for Chloé, photographer. But sometimes, Chloé writes also, and responds to Christopher’s verse, while Christopher draws inspirations from Chloés photos and answers with his own. They are each in their turn, seer and seen, exploring different ways of living in their bodies that are associated with both masculine and feminine norms and playing with these codes and modes of representation. But it is also the status of images and the texts produced that is uncertain; they are at once traces of their relationship, intimate objects, derived in great part through their correspondence through text messages that they have used to “make art”. Their dialogue is nourished by their different tongues, English for Christopher and French for Chloé. Here, both of them “translate” and adapt the other’s experience to reveal and share this play of light, shadow, and mirrors with the public. The performances were conceived and performed at Le Festival des Féminins 2019 in collaboration with the Maloya singer Sully Doro at Le Théâtre de verre.
