Silice & Capitons is a long-term project by artist Hélène Moreau, exploring the role of reading aloud within a visual arts practice. The project unfolds through multiple entry points, navigating between installation, set design, performance, poetry, and furniture, within a setting that encourages hospitality.
Packaging foam can become a garment, a drawing, or a carpet. A sculpture transforms into an accessory; a hanging element, when held in the hand, becomes a tool for concentration. The text accompanies and nuances the evocative power of these different elements, while following their transformations and shifting in response to the audience.
The residency at SB34 concorde marks a moment of reflection, situated between two phases of writing work developed on stage around the activatable piece Module de lecture, created at Théâtre Le Boson in Ixelles. This project underwent an initial phase of research in Marseille between 2024 and 2025, with the support of Voyons at La Voilerie Phocéenne.
Two reading sessions will offer the audience an opportunity to pause, to interweave narratives and forms of writing around the capacities for adaptation and experimentation.
