Solstice by Gwenaelle Guillebot de Nerville
Students in the 13th class are presenting a solo exercise entitled “Solstice”, a first independent exercise in which each student imagines a short form lasting 5 to 10 minutes. Each project leader works in pairs with another student from the graduating class, who acts as an outsider and privileged partner. The student manages all stages of the process, has his/her own budget and workspace, in total autonomy, accompanied by members of ESNAM’s Pedagogical Council. The presentation follows 5 weeks of work.
There are monsters in the forest.
If you’re lost, the forest will eat you,
and you’ll become a beast among beasts.
Stage direction and performance: Gwenaelle Guillebot de Nerville
Inspired by Croire aux fauves, a novel by Nastassja Martin, and Je ne suis pas trans dans la forêt, a text by Loup Rivière in PD la revue n°1 bis.
Outside view: Lucas Sivignon
Thanks to Georges and Marie, again, four years later, Manuel Dias and Thomas Rousseau, the 13th promotion and those I’ve forgotten.
