Cécile Rives is an opera singer, circus performer, and artistic director. She plays with symbols & codes, of several fields (opera, cabaret, circus) and esthetics languages (classical, contemporary, traditions), to create poetic performances where we can question our conceptions of boundaries, and where we can experiment our perception of time.
Tora Wallander (b. 1991) works with video and installation, exploring mankind’s present and historical relation to nature. The works oscillate between fact and fiction and are based on thorough research, where real events and phenomena result in a more speculative narrative.
