PERFORMANCES

Bienvenue aux funérailles du monde qu’on déteste (2025)

Catherine Paquet & Dolce Saint-Arnold

“Bienvenue aux funérailles du monde qu’on déteste” is a multidisciplinary performance combining literature, music, and theatre.

Born from the meeting of Catherine Paquet’s and Dolce Saint-Arnold’s poetic universe and a shared desire to give materiality to their poetry publications and to create a space that stages decolonial and ecofemists reflexions. A three acts ceremony embodying disenchantment and an eclectic relationship with the body and the city. This procession stages a nocturnal procession ritual and a riot, a moment when mourning and apathy gradually recede to turn into a cathartic celebration.
