To make light of elements. The phenomena observed in laboratory find their translation on the ring where the artist is one with his experiments. Being in turn tightrope walker, juggler, rider, acrobat or tamer, he surrounds himself with machines or objects he created, to tame atmospheric turbulences, to cause unstable equilibriums, to use the absurd to demonstrate effects with unexpected physical properties, like a Gyro Gearloose who would have made the stage his workshop. This performance under the circus tent is not a show with stories, but a playful space of existential demonstrations fed with obsessions: How to live in a world in perpetual motion? Which point of view to adopt on it? What do we know that we really know?

Sometime devilish, sometime harmless, the demiurge obstinately fights to tame the disorders he himself installed. Extremely focused, he attempts, he takes risks to comprehend the energy, the motion, what animates the matter that surrounds us, sometimes to failure. Secret is an invitation to the spectator to participate in the elaboration of a thought, rather than gazing passively at a feat.

– Terces

From the transitive verb “Tercer” to plow the earth for the third time.
Terces/Secret semordnilap, a word or group of words that take on another meaning when read in the opposite direction.

Terces is the third act of this constantly evolving performance. Fifteen years after having laid the first foundations (Secret temps 1 & temps 2), the artist deploys it for the third time.  In this new opus, familiar figures form the strata of a memory, like a landscape with a priori familiarity, but confronted with new disturbances that allow for a new interpretation.
