Quasi allegories of the void, the jesters give a spectacular consistency to the anguish of the nothingness. They save us from vertigo and lead us, with the help of comedy, to the other side of the abyss. The character of the jester invites us to let go and to transgress conventions. He embodies freedom and scandal. Everyone knows the character of the jester. But do we have representations of women jesters?

BALEC, is an interstellar void, a black and white desert where two women jesters are deeply bored. They start to play with the feminine and masculine clichés by taking hostage a malleable object, tights. BALEC is a serial reproduction of a movement which, repeating itself, changes a little with each repetition. It is thus that the jesters denounce while affirming. From repetition to ricochet, they build a game of threading tights which, on a clownish rhythm, fails permanently. The caricatured characters that emerge from the playful manipulation of these tights both reinforce received ideas and dynamize them when pushed to the point of absurdity. Putting on more and more tights, the jester girls spare no one.

If buffoons appear at times when criticism of power and freedom of expression are threatened, it is perhaps to the women buffoons that it is up to show today the way out of the existential turmoil of our modernity.
