The duo lock themselves in their attic, a true cabinet of wonders! Earth, a dollhouse, seashells, mirrors, an electric train, Christmas garlands, a camera… The film studio grows before your eyes, different miniature sets appear, making it possible to improvise a film live. And the hands begin to dance… Filmed as moving characters, they gracefully tell the five love stories of Gisele, an old woman who at 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 hearts, a pleasure for the eyes. The emotion it emanates echoes childhood, love, the power of lived life. In 2018, spectators at the Carrouge theatre were able to discover Cold Blood, the second opus of the artist duo. Today, the revival of Kiss & Cry proves that the magic of theatre is sometimes less fleeting than one might think.
