Ceci Est Mon Coeur (This is my heart) is an immersive site-specific work exploring an extraordinary love story, that of a child’s reconciliation with his body. It’s an immersive tale in which the audience, wrapped in a connected garment and embellished with luminous embroidery, is swept up in a poetic experience that is both aural and visual.
Ceci Est Mon Coeur offers a sensory odyssey in which the audience sees the connected garment light up in synchronisation with the text of the story.
