This performance took place from 28 september 2024 (André Breton’s death date) as was presented in the frame of RADICALE 1924, a group exhibition organized to celebrate the centennial of Breton’s surrealist manifesto.

“On the occasion of the centenary celebration of the publication of the Surrealist Manifesto, it seems essential that Radicale 1924 continues the village’s legacy as an artists’ village, demonstrating its commitment to encouraging artistic exploration and collaboration. The 100th anniversary of André Breton’s First Surrealist Manifesto, published in 1924, offers an exceptional opportunity to revisit surrealism in the light of our times.”
