Through the exceptional itineraries of three people forced to reinvent themselves, “L’Aventure Invisible” invites us to follow the course of an inner adventure, where no question is too intimate to ask. A journey into ourselves, under the skin of our face, into the meanderings of our brain. The autobiographical word is at the centre of “L’Aventure Invisible”, which explores the themes of identity, death and transformation.
An American scientist specialising in the brain who suffered a stroke herself and was thus able to study the damage of this accident from the inside. At 37, she lost all her memories and had to reinvent her personality from scratch. A man who was born with a degenerative disease and was the first patient to receive a full face transplant. Thanks to an experimental surgery, he now lives with the face of a man 25 years younger. An experimental filmmaker, who became obsessed with the mysterious photographic work of Claude Cahun, an iconic queer artist, feels a strange connection with her and discovers a radical way of thinking about identity by claiming neutral gender. These three voices come together to form a single conversation that questions the stability of our identities.
Founded in 2021 by Swedish director Marcus Lindeen and French-Swiss translator and playwright Marianne Ségol-Samoy, Wild Minds is an international artistic endeavour across performing arts, documentary and film. Based on extensive research and interviews, the projects focus on spectacular stories from real life, transforming them into sensitive, complex and poetic narratives for the stage or screen.
