L'Amiral Sénès

Marion Carriau

"The sound of the trumpets still echoes in the darkened space. The atmosphere is thick and misty, with only a few glimpses of light. Perhaps it's a nocturnal, underwater landscape, another Atlantis, a forgotten world, or a space where our dead await our call... Out of the fog emerge three shipwrecked figures, haggard and clumsy, and an odyssey begins, a naval fantasy, an epic of lead soldiers. Jaws snap, legs give way, bodies help each other in their quest for verticality. They are linked to each other, to the lineage, to the admiral ancestor whom they bring back to life through them. Together they invent the epic memory of a grandfather about whom we know nothing except that he has a statue in his likeness. There is a path from matter to the human, from opacity to light, from specter to flesh, from oblivion to memory. When I was a child, the figure of Admiral Sénès and his statuesque double were a hotbed of fantasies of glory, heroism and naval battles. In creating L'Amiral Sénès, I want to bring to light the different layers of ghostly stories of which each person is the sum, and let these myths, these invisible gestures and dances of which our bodies are the heirs, resurface in the depths of our bodies."
