“l’odeur de la lavande ne me quitte pas des yeux” is a web-based performance reading commissioned by
@centrepompidou for festival Extra!, written and read by
@grf.yard with live visuals by

Thanks to
@jeanmaxcolard ,
@unkpleasures and Christine Bolron for your trust. What an honor to read at
@centrepompidou .
Lavender is an AI and it's getting out of control. Three characters are caught in its web: a man driving out to meet the people who kidnapped his wife, a twenty-year old with severe brainrot from too much screentime, and the memory of a veteran's once-in-a-lifetime meetcute. As a war rages somewhere, they drift through various interlocking times and spaces haunted by Lavender, who is just doing what it was designed for, what it does best: marking targets for the kill.
we’ll be playing it at
@maisondelapoesiedebordeaux in april 2025 – more on that soon.
PS: for this trailer, we’re using a bitcrushed edit of “Fragments of a Lily” by Puce Mary.
Thanks to
@nicolasdau for taking those vids on the day of the performance :-)
