Tu te réveilles ce matin le ventre contre une pierre is a performance combining sound, text, light and a slug-critter costume. As the soundtrack evolves, the slug starts moving and sheds its skins. Interested in processes of mutation and in-between states, Wren Cellier reflects here on on the state dormancy and questions the boundaries between animate and inanimate.
