Imaginons qu’on puisse être autrui le temps d’un instant. Dans HUIS, on est invité dans un lieu inconnu. En raison de la situation inattendue dans laquelle on aboutit, on ne peut plus assister en spectateur depuis la ligne de touche : il n’y a nulle part où se cacher. Sans aucune pression, de manière totalement naturelle, quasi surréaliste, on devient un élément d’un nouveau « chez-soi ».

An electro-opera, if you like, inspired by The Up Series on the BBC..
