'chant in' 

Exploring states of transe and opening spaces of vulnerability, play and trust, the performance aims to offer a challenging yet intimate space for the audience to experience connection with the other and themselves, be seen, and receive.

A 2 to 3 hours durational performance of improvised chanting, inviting the audience to sit one by one on a chair in front of Taïs to receive individual chants inspired by their presence whilst maintaining eye contact.

Taïs first created the performance during the Marrakech Biennale in 2016, as a mean to delve into three main fears she had about singing in public: improvising, singing accapella and looking at the audience in the eyes. The performance became a tool to face and overcome these fears and has now evolved into revealing what lied behind the whole time : the other with their own vulnerabilities, and an opportunity for truer connection.

Performed first at the Marrakech Biennale in 2016, it has been performed over 20 times since in Croatia (Obonjan), France (Paris), the UK (Medicine Festival), Germany (Berlin).
