  The audience enters in the monster's head and sees directly through his eyes... And then...

  The monster is different from the norm. It frightens us and we point our finger to. We chase it to keep in a cage or to destroy. But if it is the monster than are we the good ones ? François Chalet's installation is questioning while entertaining us. He would like to create a world in which the borders between the good and the bad disappear, in which we can become the monster and this monster shows his inner world. A world both frightening and surprising. A world that shakes us to allow us to make our thoughts evolve. The frontier between monster and non-monster is blurred. Good news !

  So step into the monster's head and watch the world trough its eyes! Don't be afraid of you are about to see!
