As part of the Festival d'Automne in Paris, Marcus Lindeen proposes the performance L'Aventure invisible.
Through the exceptional itineraries of three people forced to reinvent themselves, Marcus Lindeen invites us to follow the course of an inner adventure, where no question is too intimate to be asked. A journey within ourselves, under the skin of our face, in the meanders of our brain.
For the past ten years or so, Swedish director and filmmaker Marcus Lindeen has been producing a singular and striking work, which generally relies on documentary material to fabricate its sensitive, political and poetic resonances. For the documentary and installation The Raft (2018), he studied the relationships of violence within a group based on the interactions between individuals left alone on a raft for three months. The autobiographical word is also central to L'Aventure invisible which explores themes of identity, death and transformation. The performers give voice to three people summoned by fate to rethink the foundations of their identity. A stroke victim at the age of thirty-seven, a scientist studied from the inside out the damage to her brain that caused her to lose her memory. A filmmaker revisits, through death rituals, the photographic work of queer artist Claude Cahun. A man, born with a degenerative disease, was the first patient to receive a total face transplant. These three voices unite to form a single conversation, which questions the stability of our identities.
