Mushi kiki is a choreographic creation linked to a residency in a nature reserve and to an interactive arrangement for adults and children.

I settled for a week in the nature reserve of Grand Pierre et Vitain, at the confluence of two valleys, in an undulating landscape of box trees, mossy and damp woods, and meadows containing an impressive megalithic necropolis.
 
Being in residency in the reserve is to live on site and to be completely free to walk around the land at any time, scrutinise it, meet its inhabitants, identify my itineraries, the places and objects or materials that catch my attention, observe the places or actions that gradually become obvious in this way of living in the place.
Being in residency is to collect sounds and images, produce figures from materials in the reserve combined with items from my panoply, completed by some unlikely purchases from the garden centre or other suppliers for local farmers.  
Being in residency is to improvise starting from places and situations, to practice, to work on the hybrid body between man and animal, to shift plant life onto the edges, to question how I can become part of nature through notions of protection, camouflage and survival. To invent how to represent oneself. How to play.
