TROPIQUE DU KEPONE

After Les fabriques de Tropique du képone, a time of artistic exploration of the imaginary body and the plastic arts, Myriam Soulanges-Back Art Diffusion and Marlène Myrtil Compagnie Kaméléonite, conceptualize their encounter around this research areas with ecological resonances: the use of pesticides and soil pollution in the West Indies.

For these two artists, choosing to base their work on this recurring theme is a form of resistance and struggle, and undeniably a political act.

​

Tropique du Képone is an Afrofuturist performance art piece. In it, there is a  focus on the urgency to act and on the need to disregard governmental policies. It is about building a victorious future which will bring trust and healing to our past and present struggles.

​

Bearing a strong  and rebellious imagination, the two artists perform in a space of reciprocity, fade,  resistance, reconstruction and resilience in  the center of a set designed by shades of blue.

 

Blue Kepone... Or barbaric blue in the midst of victorious uprisings nourished by the archive, the story and the speech.

​

Aside from an ecological reflection, this choreographic fiction highlights fragmented, distended and persistent body movements  which reveal a heroic mutation.
