The Argonauts – 2025

Les Argonautes (new creation, june 2025) explores the question of kinship from a queer and feminist perspective, helped by the imaginary of marine fauna and its reproductive and relational gender hybridity close to science fiction. Following on from the work of La Grande Remontée, Les Argonautes continues a hybrid aesthetic exploration of dance, live music and situated documentary research.
