Sound design
For this project, I approached the creation of the sound universe by trying to define the space and the place by working on the "off-camera" spaces. I worked from recordings of everyday objects to bring this space to life in the 1960s (TV, radio, kitchen...), archives, interior and exterior atmospheres.

The real is blurred, the suffering unspeakable, the desire indestructible In the 1960s, the clinics of La Borde and Saint-Alban were emblematic places of institutional psychotherapy. The latter attempts to rethink in depth the place of the psychiatric hospital in society, and our own view of madness. Every summer, caregivers and residents organize a big fair where a show is created and performed by everyone. This exceptional moment embodies the desire to open the doors of these clinics more widely. This singular experience of psychiatry, parties and theater served as the starting point for the company Courir à la Catastrophe. In this creation, the team invites us into the preparations and rehearsals of the play "As You Like It" by Shakespeare. The fable particularly resonates here: the play depicts characters cross-dressing to escape power and flee into the forest. Through this theater in the theater, Alice Vannier's show intelligently and sensitively opens a window on the lives of those who, marginalized by our society, try to regain dignity and freedom.
