Estrée made a stopover on the island of Kyrra.
While the volcanic landscape seems to engulf her, a series of signs, sounds and shapes call out to her. She discovers a group of women who live on the island. They communicate in an invented language, in movement, composed of gestures, cries and dissonant songs, pay particular attention to the environment and seem to communicate with it through mysterious musical instruments. Black spots punctuate their skin. Estrée observes them. The black spots are reminiscent of dried lava, the bodies disappear into the landscape. The island is all these women.
The aim of the musical composition is to make us hear how the word unravels to allow a new song to emerge.

Raphaële Dupire
is an artist born in Paris and currently living in Marseille. Her interdisciplinary work is nourished by the meeting of performance, sound arts and dance. Her artistic projects take many forms: from performative scores to concert pieces to sound and image. She also works as a teacher and as a sound artist.
Amélie Giacomini and Laura Sellies
have been working together since 2010. Since then, they have developed a body of work in which installation, film, performance, literature and music share equally a space that is only truly defined by the attention of the viewer. For an evening, a day, or the time of an exhibition, Amélie Giacomini and Laura Sellies have worked in places such as the Palais de Tokyo, the Centre Pompidou, the Salon de Montrouge, the BF15 in Lyon, Triangle in Marseille, and the Institut d'art contemporain in Villeurbanne. Their work was awarded the Prix des Présidents, presented by the Association des amis de l'École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Lyon in 2016 and supported by a residency at the French Academy in Rome, Villa Medici.
