Adansonias by Terence Koh, the Asian Punk Boy’s imaginary opera… Terence leaves behind him queer porn fetishism to unveil a refreshingly romantic light… A ritualistic performance, punctuated by experimental music and songs where St Exupery’s Little Prince, Beckett’s characters and Godard’s actors meet in Thaddaeus Ropac’s Parisian gallery, covered in virginal white – salt, chalk – to conjure up the visit of vampires… Lestat, Claudia, are you amongst us? The Little Prince offers you his powdered solitude, a reminiscence of the City of Lights…
