‘Presented as a photo shoot with the audience as camera lens, Le Modèle de Molinier is unique and compelling.’ Sud-Ouest

Moving between reality and illusion, through eroticism and narcissistic ceremony, Le Modèle de Molinier tells a story about the uncertainty of the image. Pierre Molinier (1900-1976) was a one-time member of the Surrealist movement, at first championed then cast out by André Breton. His paintings and especially his auto-erotic photographs pioneered body art and the explicit portrayal of sexuality. Inspired by Molinier's images, Sylvain Meret's solo performance explores gender ambiguity and sexual fantasy. The director is Jean-Luc Terrade whose more than thirty productions for his company, Les Marches de l'Êté, include stagings of works by Beckett, Duras, Genet and Heiner Muller.
