Performance "Y'All Remember" by artist Rose-Mahé Cabel at the Allondans wash house

Rose-Mahé Cabel’s performance connects aquatic figures—mermaids and other kindred beings—with washhouse spaces and the imagery surrounding washerwomen.

“This performance installation unfolds like a narrative with disjointed chronologies, between science fiction, fantasy, and magical realism. Here, the past is told differently, bringing in fiction where reality falls short. Messenger figures from a time yet to come make their appearance, emerging from the waters. Then comes transformation, and beneath masks of ash soap, they become water creatures—mermaids, bird-women, serpent-women—giving life to new ecosystems.”

— Free admission. Maximum duration: 20 minutes.
— 10 Rue Centrale, 25550 Allondans. Parking available at the Allondans temple car park. For those wishing to carpool to the site, meet at 4pm in front of 19, Crac. Advance registration required by email at action@le19crac.com or by phone at 03 81 31 87 80.
