Vimala Pons : Le Périmètre de Denver

Edit






Seven characters from different walks of life cross paths in a hotel in an English seaside resort where a murder has taken place. The accounts do not match up. Inspired by courtroom drama films, by the game of Cluedo, by Columbo's investigations, Le Périmètre de Denver sows permanent confusion between the true, the false-real, and the artifice, in particular vocal. Author, circus artist, performer, Vimala Pons was first trained in martial arts and classical guitar before studying art history and cinema.  Le Périmètre de Denver is a concept that borrows from both quantum physics and philosophy: it designates a state of confusion characterized by an altered relationship to identity and reality.
