" Perchée dans les arbres investigates a potential spiritual feminist practice. Can one attempt this giant leap, bridging the spiritual practices of the great mystics, those linked to the wild, sacred feminine, and a politically engaged, materialistic feminism? Could it be that today the study and practice of multiple forms of spiritual fervour are becoming a tool for the liberation and emancipation of women (and of men by extension)? All of this outside of religious dogmas, and underpinned by a certain salutary “unbelief”? Can one attempt to link the spiritual and the material in a liberating fervour? This investigation, which began in 2016, will continue until 2018 in the form of periods of immersion at the heart of the esoteric and spiritual practices of women who are witches, mystics, historians or healers.

(...) This exploration connects practical and theoretical moments that lead us to extraordinary corporeal and spiritual states, so that instants of inner experience emerge, in which moderation and immoderation mix, in which intense presence and altered consciousness open a door to another space-time: a shaman, a Benedictine nun, a philosopher, a yogini, an osteopath, a tantrika… These moments experienced with them will provide fertile ground for writing the texts commissioned from Magali Mougel and for writing the choreographic score that I will create with and for the dancer. " Aurélie Gandit

The artist residency programme is organised by the CAC - la synagogue de Delme in collaboration with the Lorraine Regional Natural Park and the Commune of Lindre-Basse.
