"Ici c'est ici, from here we see the world, from here we also dream the world. Let's dream, let's talk about dreams, let's dream - because it's by dreaming that we'll be able to affirm a new Malagasy breath through its creative forms of the present in relation to artists and forms of expression from elsewhere.
There are no fixed mediums. The exhibition affirms the polyphony of forms in a game of time with its illusions and realities. The menu is not fixed. The menu is borderless. Chef Lalaina Ravelomanana sets the tone by revisiting a popular Madagascan dish to the rhythm of Kristel's Nofy rock. The context is the game, diversity the rule. Istanbul's eternal couple :mentalKLINIK reinvents a new love, a new game of love opposite Môssieur Njo's new drawn words. In a diversity of lines, young designer Domi Sanji mixes his lands in confrontation with Alexandre Gourçon and his infinite folds.
Ramily, the forgotten father of contemporary Malagasy photography, is back in the limelight in his emblematic series of desert and lush vegetation.
Visual artist Donn sets up his piece between nightmare and tenderness, just as choreographer Judith Manantenasoa speaks of the sweetness of chaos. All bathed in our mad Malagasy melancholy through an ongoing literary dialogue between Jean-Joseph Rabearivelo and Elie Rajaonarison. Improbable encounters to motivate and surprise. Craft meets song. Photography becomes dress. Words become canvases. Weave literature, light fires, dance architecture, talk couture, dress the present. Let's embroider the kitchen and smell the flowers. Dreams are my reality, another kind of reality. Iarivo's dreams. The world's dreams. Let's set ourselves adrift. Let's dream.
Here in Madagascar we carry all the dreams of the world" - Joël Andrianomearisoa
