Darkness Picnic — DOM

The picnic then becomes a transitional space where other possibilities are invented: a way to step outside imposed frameworks, follow different lines of desire, and imagine, together, new ways of being in the world. DOM- transforms this familiar ritual into a genuine shared experience, both sensitive and political. Conceived as a poetic bivouac, this performance invites us to slow down and inhabit the world differently. In an enchanting atmosphere, reference points gradually blur: listening, sensations, and imagination take precedence over certainties, allowing desires, tensions, and unsettling stories to emerge.

Echoing research into environmental humanities and queer ecology, DOM- envisions the group as an unstable ecosystem shaped by relationships and transformations. Without ever breaking the unsettling delicacy of its setup, the piece blurs the boundaries between spectators and performers, between reality and fiction.

Show presented as part of the Festival d'Automne à Paris
