Je suis en résidence à SOMA, Marseille pendant tout le mois de septembre. J'y travaille sur la capacité qu'on aurait à jouer le corps et la douleur. Faire surface est une exploration autour d’une mécanique de jeu : celle d’affleurer, de remonter, d’avoir l’impression de toujours devoir se maintenir.
