In Medieval Crack, the Foulles collective, in the company of historian Clovis Maillet, goes in search of the queer cracks in medieval history. Those that allow other narratives, identities and dances to emerge. In a bid to reappropriate time and history, the collective gleans material for emancipation from the representations and relics of an era. For yes, the Middle Ages also had their happy hours of enlightenment and freedom. The collective questions the shifts in meaning inherent in the mapping of our bodies. All of this is captured with great mischief in a fresco full of relief and gaiety.
The Foulles collective made up of Collin Cabanis, Auguste de Boursetty, Délia Krayenbühl, Emma Saba, Fabio Zoppelli has existed since 2018. It all started with affinities, friendships, jokes and a meeting.
A desire to dance together, to share music, images and texts, to share a host of things with a host of people. In their work, their most diverse passions come together in a jumble, with no hierarchy. Their handling is very precise and respectful, but also celebratory and generous. Weaving threads of discussion and tension, maintaining complexity. Crossing time with the joy of a battalion.
