About
For two weeks, lion moved to La Charpente des Fauves to propose a sound creation workshop and interviews in order to share and exchange on the realities of queers with suicidal thoughts. "What can we do with our most painful thoughts and how can we do it together?" "Can we create sound worlds, poetic, alone and/or for many, to manifest spaces of reliance, discharge and/or transformation of the difficulties of our experiences and sensations?" These questions are the starting point of the proposal. The implementation will be carried out collectively in a framework of listening, benevolence and collaboration. This project addresses suicidal thoughts and proposes exchanges around this reality.
