in the context of WEFRAC 26 AND the exhibition Jeune création internationale - 18th Biennale de Lyon
This documentary essay is an extension of the ten-month territory residency of artist Eléonore Pano-Zavaroni in Villeurbanne, in partnership with IAC / Frac Rhône-Alpes and the City of Villeurbanne. In the Grandclément neighborhood, the artist brought together students, high school students, seniors, and residents from different medical-social structures around the project "Hey, truth – Emotional community, how do you tell stories?".
It was during this project that Eléonore Pano-Zavaroni met Mireille Poitau, who lived at the Jean Jaurès senior residence. From this meeting arises the desire to pursue a work together, based on the story of Mireille and her daughter Claire, carrier of trisomy 21, and the many poems she has written. Through filmed interviews, their correspondence and Claire’s words, the film traces a singular trajectory made of emancipation, struggles and love. It gives to hear a relationship with free and direct language, while questioning the norms, the categories and the way in which stories are written from the margins.
Mireille, who largely contributed to the genesis of this project, has since died. Today, this film bears the mark of his word and that meeting.
The screening of the film (20 min) will be followed by a meeting and discussion with Eléonore Pano-Zavaroni.
