Homemade exoticism, exorcism, etc.

Homemade exoticism, exorcism, etc. is a sonic and ritual performance about inner voices, hidden fears, endless recovery, selective memories and accidental joy. 

In this five-step performance, Sylvain Souklaye creates a living and breathing space inside which we are alone and need to go deep into our own scars to nourish a much-needed individual and collective resiliency. 

With this sonic performance, Sylvain Souklaye connects nothingness, absence, gravity, elevation and epiphany to this moment US and this place I. Sylvain Souklaye investigates the tedious relationship we cultivate with screens (Mirror, mirror on the wall).

Homemade exoticism, exorcism etc. voices doubts on our definition of the inside and the outside, how the inside and the outside articulate our representation of the other and lastly why we have this desire to hide among the many. Those remain the unlocked secrets and our only way-out.  

VOICE. WORD. NOISE. SOUNDS. RYTHM.

Homemade exoticism, exorcism, etc. is not a healing process but an ā€œIā€ searching experience for those who know that the outside is not what we really miss.
