* Etymology
from Latin illico “on the spot, on the field”, composed of in “in” and the ablative of locus “place, moment”.
Plasticians Christine Coste and Catherine Ursin perform in a hurry. For illico, they stay attuned to the space, sounds and emotions that run through them, connecting them to the audience through exchange, the better to take care of them.
They project the ephemeral and play with the boundaries of different artistic media where physical and temporal space are distorted, retaining only the essence of the desire to be.
With sound artist Nikola Kapetanovic, they build an installation whose score evolves over time. The Générateur then becomes a zone of experimentation where creation takes place in the moment, successively and simultaneously: in locus / illico.
They knead the material. They link line, image, sound and volume. They question the notion of trace and memory before our very eyes.

Illico / trace – Friday January 21 at 7:30pm
The blinding white light creeps in to invade the space. Bodies, tiny grains of sand in this infinite interstice, bring the illico/volume installation to life as it continues its metamorphosis. Shadows intrude, dance and intertwine. They play with the spaces, which are covered with chimerical dreams to the sound of superimposed waves reinvented in the moment.
Illico / in locus – Saturday January 22 at 8pm
In the place, on the field, images, sounds, gestures from the past and the future are superimposed. The material has disappeared, and only its memory guides the bodies in an inhabited movement, the link between memory and hope. The “here” has been emptied, the “there” must be built.

Illico / passage – Sunday January 23 at 4pm
Intimacy, bathed in images and sounds, the time of a walk, where we experience our forgotten past, our uncertain future. Take the risk of being “there”; of becoming impregnated, diluted, lost and reinvented.
