Sentinel 1.0

Performance, 2008
Juliette Fontaine (video) and Thierry Fournier (stage direction)
Series of performances Outside Lectures (Conferences du dehors)

Videoprojected, two mongooses have been filmed on the outside while they are watching, in a succession of swift movements: sentry-like, turning around themselves, standing upright, keeping an eye towards the horizon. Concurrently to this image, the actress walks across the auditorium and among the audience and she occupies avalaible spaces, she goes in every nook and cranny of the shared space.
