ÉMEUTE
Sorry for the inconvenience
"Speech is no longer sufficient, the body must come out into a public space and must express itself through the force of movement."
ÉMEUTEis an exploration of the protest microcosm,
of its communities, of their intimacy, which intertwine and echo one another.
Of these individuals who confront the fire and energy of anger, sometimes denounced but still too little known, if not taboo.
Which gives way to movement, agitation, uprising, and violent explosions. This project incites debate on the freedom to rebel, which questions commitment and the legitimacy of violence.
"It's an immersion in the center of a confrontation between a people and a government."

All crossed by a form of invisible power:

"Its omnipresence oppresses and provokes the characters into a quest for emancipation."
