Le Modele de Milinier

Moving between reality and illusion, through eroticism and narcissistic ceremony, Le Modèle de Molinier tells a story about the uncertainty of the image. Pierre Molinier (1900-1976) was a one-time member of the Surrealist movement, at first championed then cast out by André Breton. His paintings and especially his auto-erotic photographs pioneered body art and the explicit portrayal of sexuality. Inspired by Molinier's images, Sylvain Meret's solo performance explores gender ambiguity and sexual fantasy. The director is Jean-Luc Terrade whose more than thirty productions for his company, Les Marches de l'Êté, include stagings of works by Beckett, Duras, Genet and Heiner Muller. UK Premiere. London International Mime Festival (LIMF)
