Des Paradis is
A celebration of a return to the ground.
The creation of universes where cohabitation and exchanges are possible.
A jungle's peep show.
A dive within constrained spaces, or empty ones, to expand or to share, to defend or to vibrate. A party, a revolt.
An idea of insularity.
Distant memories that arise.
Love galore.
A consideration of tight spaces that make sometimes our daily lives. Live it gently.
Find oneself place's with serenity and trust, pleasure and simplicity.

Des Paradis is
A piece about dreams and a bit of hope.
A piece about the existence of the "heavenly", and our power to create it, every day. A piece on cooperation, co-management and collective intelligence.

"Here simply benefactress, generously attentive to the other, nakedness is perfectly consistent with what preceded in the piece: an infinitely patient review of vibrant gestures clearly link to their environment, movements that are worrying about spaces and its other inhabitants, instead of becoming its occupants. Probably a possible idea of ​​paradise. "
