Fragile

1999 · 7 min · Animation

At 24 glasses per second, Jules the wine goblet and Pierre the beer mug face each other in a duel to conquer Laurence, the pretty champagne flute. It's an action film complete with breathless combats and amazing stunts where there is only one rule: Don't get broken! But sometimes the heart is more fragile than glass.

Erè Mèla Mèla

Choreographer and interpreter for the Nederlands Dans Theater, Lionel Hoche likes to depict twin universes and dual life histories. In a sixties-style apartment, furnished with brightly coloured objects, two men face each other. While a smooth melody distils syncopations and undulations, the dancers have fun diverting everyday objects from their customary use. This dreamy, playful and amorous atmosphere leads to all kinds of visions and enchantments.
