On the set, a Zidane jersey, some VHS tapes and a giant screen. It’s not much and it’s huge. Yasmine Yahiatène, trained in video and performance, signs with La Fracture a first solo as sober as striking. She summons Ahmed, her Kabyle father, the one from whom she had to learn how to mourn during her lifetime, caught up in alcohol. Drawing in white gouache on the floor, filmed live with a camcorder, she blurs the boundaries between memory and fiction. Colonial history, exile, the 1998 World Cup are superimposed on the screen via a skillful mapping, until the dizzying moment when his face merges with that of his father. The Fracture makes intimacy political. A show of few words that does not give answers, but asks the right questions.
This show is part of the Focus EMERGE, an event dedicated to the new generation of artists on the European scene, deployed in March and April 2027 in Valenciennes, Maubeuge, Villeneuve d'Ascq, Amiens and Beauvais.
