The installation conceived for the Billioud room of the Pierre Barbizet Conservatory by the artist Elias Kurdy deals with the imaginary linked to childhood memories, taking a look at the future(s) that are reserved for us, both sweet and pessimistic. This project is inspired by a popular lullaby from the 1960s, well known in the Middle East and the Arab world, where the artist comes from, and which will be reinterpreted on this occasion. A hundred yellow wax birds will be installed in the space, lulled by this sweet melody. An immersive and dizzying space.
