Endless Summer Camp 

②⓪②⑥

With Endless Summer Camp, Sophie Guisset continues her exploration of spaces of freedom and unexpected alliances. Drawing on her personal experience within the Scout movement, she adopts its framework and structure—only to subvert its codes.

Welcome to a utopian summer camp for adults, where performers form a temporary troupe and collectively explore desire, transgression, and joy. As in the woods of our youth, they are invited to unleash their imagination through the invention, construction, and organization of a playground-like space, and to become one with the group.

Here, vice, perversion, and self-transcendence are not taboos but sources of pleasure and pride. The Scout spirit—its ingenuity in the face of the unexpected, its attentiveness to the environment around us—becomes the driving force behind an intimate and collective exploration of desire and sexuality, approached with vulnerability, humor, and sensitivity.

Endless Summer Camp invites us to rethink our relationship to desire and, together, imagine new relational scenarios—under the sun.

On Poetry, Sport, etc...

“On poetry, sport, etc” is a choreographic project created collaboratively by Sophie Guisset, performance maker and Fanny Brouyaux, dancer and choreographer.

Together, they stage an emancipatory journey. Starting from the sensation of an impeded speech, a muffled cry, they create two characters, expressing  their own contradictions. They begin in a sporting and challenging way, an obstacle course where a multitude of incidents and falls might destabilize their determination. The violence of their failure reveals the limits and absurdity of their stubbornness.

Through the skylight of their experience, it is a battle that is fought and seeks its weapons: the intense energy, the state of alert, and the solidarity that is indispensable to provoke any changes.
