L’heure du the

The portrait speaks to a form of necessity: the need to capture a fleeting identity, fixing it so that it stays alive. In L’heure du thé, Rebecca Journo takes this search – inspired by Cindy Sherman, Francesca Woodman, Modigliani – a step further by orchestrating a series of moving portraits. Like a selfie museum in perpetual flux, the show navigates between snapshots and eternity, between self-fiction and scraps of otherness. Four figures play with their image, facing the audience as if in front of a mirror. They slip into strange envelopes, liquefy and fragment, even losing all fixity. The sound, from materials such as crystal, water and glass, acts as a developer: it shapes space, twists time, infiltrates gestures. From virtual body to glass body, each movement becomes a trace, reflection or an illusion. On a frontal stage, deftness becomes gaze, and threshold becomes stage. L’heure du thé invents a theatre of reflections, where identities escape, are overlaid and replayed – and ultimately pass right through us.
