Reface is the first creation by Les Idoles, a physical and musical investigation into the idea of transformation, deformation and alteration of materials. Everything is a transition: our bodies, memory, the social environment, fora, relationships, political powers... Movement permeates everything, preventing the creation of clear and definitive forms. We work on this instability onvan intimate scale, because faces and emotions are troubled and unstable.
Alongside Reface, we want to develop Series. Like extensions of the piece, these series offer other angles from which to approach the themes of Reface, which have never ceased to fascinate us. Through new disciplines or pedagogy, we are once again looking at the question of self-representation, at the imperceptible but ceaseless metamorphoses of our bodies and faces. Sprawling, inexhaustible questions.
Serie #3 explores the themes of transformation and deformation from a new perspective. Currently in the creative process, we’re looking for a new form of writing that will reveal in greater depth the artifacts and multiple layers of the metamorphosis process: from the beginning, with the application of make-up in front of the mirror, to the total transformation of a group.
