Music score and sound concept: Olivier Mellano

Last minute (2022) is an immersive and interactive experience, at the crossroads of the performing arts, performance art and visual arts.
A symbolic experience, around the concept of a minute, stretched out. The minute just before crossing the threshold, the one before death or before birth.
Over the course of 30-minutes, in a space bathed in images and music, this installation allows audiences to engage collectively in a pivotal experience of a before and of an after. It places them amongst the elements, where matter resides, to live this metamorphosis from the vantage point of a particle. Being droplet, burning blaze, flying smoke, shivering ash, vibrating earth, slipping air, trickling rain, rising wave.
Last minute is the first of a series of Rituals conceived by Adrien M & Claire B as spaces for experimentation, both collective and intimate, with powerful gentleness. En amour (2024), second in the series, is a ritual for restoring love.

NB: This installation can be combined with other works of the company’s to create a solo thematic exhibition.
