Pas seul is a surreal choreography and exists in both single-channel and dual-channel version (Pas de deux). It shows the unfolding of a psychedelic trip, through four non-linear chapters, inspired from Un Chien Andalou (1929, Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalì). A fragmented collection of ideas carries the audience into an odd and personal journey: an attempt at escaping, through imagination, dreams and psychedelic substances, from lockdowns and fears. Stolen images, YouTube videos, archive footage, 3D renders and bold texts coexist in a chaotic and trippy sequence of events. An ongoing flow of upside down forests, Yoko Ono poems, colorful tennis matches, very short documentaries, vampires and crystals.
