The duo lock themselves in their attic, a true treasure trove! Earth, a doll's house, seashells, mirrors, an electric train, Christmas garlands, a camera… The film studio grows before their eyes, different miniature sets appear, making it possible to improvise a film live. And the hands start to dance… Filmed like moving characters, they gracefully tell the five love stories of Gisèle, an old lady who, in the twilight of her life, wonders: "Where do people go when they disappear from our lives?". The memory box opens… Kiss & Cry is a jewel of poetry and invention, a balm for the heart, a feast for the eyes. The emotion it conveys echoes childhood, love, the strength of life lived. In 2018, the spectators at Carouge theater were able to discover Cold Blood, the second opus of the artist duo. Today, the revival of Kiss & Cry proves that the magic of theater is sometimes less fleeting than we think.
