Through the Looking Glass
…What she Found There ?
I see me by his eyes, in his eyes. (…)
In his dilated pupils, I enlarged.
In his flaming eyes, I flickers.
When I pattern myself, I admire myself.
In his eyes, Narcissus drowns.
This new creation is a dreamlike Focus on humanity through an intergalactic televised program presented by 2 crazy visitors from who knows where: the ideal poster to emphasize how our existences are as insignificant as they are unique and precious. Subtle, optical, animated in a kinetic way and equipped in its center with a sphere receiving the video message (generative design), the Grand Mire combines acrobatic performances and contemporary scenography to serve the story. This show mixes with rhythm and originality several aerial ensembles on Fabrics, fixed trapezes and pendulum dance, comedy and spherical video mapping on a giant structure.
We attach excessive debt to our senses? As Narcisse will succumb us our reflection or as Alice on the other side of the Mirror living in the open nonsense?

Mirror
Look at yourself in the mirror. What do you see ?
I see myself holding an orange.
In which hand did you get this orange?
In the right hands.
Now, will place you in front of the mirror and tell me in which hand holds the little girl you see?
The left hand.
How do you explain that?
And little Alice responding after some hesitation:
If I were on the other side of the mirror, do the orange would not always be in my right hand?
(Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There – Lewis Carroll 1871)
