Traversées is a visual journey, a series of paintings reminding us of fragments of existence, scraps of memories, invested by a central figure revealing itself, multiple and one. Through darkness, it guides spectators, opens doors for them, transforms and animates each world. The exterior landscape mixes with the decor, the boundaries between reality and fantasy, visible and invisible stretch so as to plunge us into the world of in-between. At the heart of this crossing, lies a common space of intimacy. At each threshold, individuals come together to experience the passage, touch this fragile moment of presence in the world.

The Compagnie du Théâtre de l’Entrouvert was created in 2009 by Elise Vigneron. In Traversées, through her solo she sets the stage for a visual writing close to plastic installation, mixing a strong presence of the elements (water, earth, fire, air) with disturbing images. In 2011, this show received the prize for innovative form at the Lleida International Festival in Spain. In 2020 it was recreated for the exterior.
