To discover Scélérates, you have to get in the water, so let’s dive in together—in swimsuits or suits—into the pool in Saint-Rémy. Let’s face the rising waters together, forge cross-species alliances, imagine new narratives, and become chimeras. “Scélérate” refers to an unpredictable wave, a wall of water that crashes into ships without warning, transforming the sea and the world. To shift our perspective on submersion together: to celebrate joyful disappearances, and make way for what comes next, with joy and determination. Rather than resisting or denying, it’s about going with the flow. A poetic and collective experience to invent, together, sensitive forms of transformation in the face of crises. And to celebrate our futures. Water-based performance: don’t forget your swimsuit.

Rather than resisting or denying, it’s about going with the flow. A poetic and collective experience to invent, together, tangible forms of transformation in the face of crises. And to celebrate our futures. Water show: don’t forget your swimsuit.
