DESCRIPTION OF THE PIECE Picnic on the Moon is a "tableau vivant" of two characters in the South of France spending their afternoon at the parc, enjoying a picnic under the shining sun with a gentle caressing breeze that slips through their hair. What would happen if they would suddenly realize that the sun is actually a lamp and the refreshing breeze is emitted by a fan? Initially, Picnic on the Moon arose from an image. How would this image move? Who is moving it? The piece explores the contrast between a perfect apparent reality and an empty inner self, a space in which the separating line between real and fake has been blurred.
