This sculpture, whose title is an incantation, is utilitarian. Like much of Hélène Bertin's work, it was conceived with room for growth through the interactions and encounters it provokes. The sculpture is on view to bounce off of it.

Made up of plywood alveoli, it is the work of André Mercoiret, inventor of honeycomb flooring. Carved on its surface, drawings by Bettina Henni unveil the device of physical connection. Dança dança abelha / Lo bordon que t'acompanha / Que sias los tons pas de hèsta / Qu'èi gravat la rusca de gai is crowned by hanging lights that could be firebugs illuminating those who join the dance.

The installation is designed to be disassembled and have several lives. After June 26, it will travel to Nantes, and then to Rome.

With the support of La Fondation des Artistes.

In coproduction with Le Voyage à Nantes 2023 and La Fondation d'entreprise Martell.
