Locus Solus
Based on Raymond Roussel’s 1914 proto-surrealist novel, the staging transforms the space into a park of bizarre attractions owned by scientist Martial Canterel. The production operates as a kinetic installation, where mechanical inventions, artificial illusions, and animated corpses re-enact fragments of past traumas.
