From June 1 to 15, Cymopolée the tornado of lights blew across the forecourt of Sénart theater, as part of Paris White Night festival.
This artwork exposes a climatic phenomenon that usually forms far from our latitudes. But the findings of IPCC reports show that tornadoes will become more frequent and intense here. Benjamin Nesme & Marc Sicard have created a two-pronged approach to light and sound: on the one hand, a naturalistic, immersive evocation of the passage of a tornado over the city. On the other, a narrative that transcribes the emotions linked to the consequences of climate change and our collective responsibilities: fear, anger, nostalgia, hope. Beyond catastrophism, Cymopolée contrasts the urgency of the situation with the calm after the storm.
A breeze of poetry for a breath of fresh air.
