Three women enter a space shaped by linen, bound by an invisible code: if I reach out my hand to you, you help me; if I offer you support, I rise. Within this fragile architecture, their bodies leave their mark until one of them breaks the pact. The Tower of Babel then collapses, the fabrics fall, and the structure sinks into a chaos of rolls. From this destruction arises a vortex of struggle where each woman attempts to climb alone, only to inevitably slip. The body can only rise through collaboration. Through a circular ritual, the artists explore collective work to reassemble the elements like a tree of life. LI(E)N is a unique exploration of matter and solidarity, inviting us to rethink how we inhabit the world, together.
Three women enter a space shaped by linen, bound by an invisible code: if I reach out, you help me; if I offer support, I rise. In this fragile architecture, bodies imprint their breath until one breaks the pact. The Tower of Babel collapses, fabrics fall, and the structure sinks into a chaos of scrolls. From this destruction emerges a vortex of struggle where each attempts to climb alone, only to inevitably slip. The body can only ascend through collaboration. Through a circular ritual, the artists explore collective work to rebuild the elements like a tree of life. "LI(E)N" is an original exploration of material and solidarity, inviting us to rethink how we inhabit the world together, weaving the fabric of our shared gravity into a poetic strength.
