Chou Chou Ténèbres
WHERE IS THE REAL? Out there - and probably in a bad way. Chou Chou Ténèbres welcomes you to a comfortable, reassuring place like a garage, cellar or fallout shelter. In the midst of a dilapidated electronic installation, with old camcorders pointed at him, Chou Chou creates diversions to fool the Darkness, whose threat is ever-present. And he joyfully (un)fights against the programmed obsolescence of his species.

Federico Robledo
Federico Robledo was born in Argentina in 1984. Until 1996, he watched TV lying on his side and drank lukewarm Coca Cola on Sundays before morning mass. From 2003, he tried to become a painter, an atheist and a circus performer. He attended art and circus schools. He does dance, video, animation, music and tries to spend time on stage, because he finds meaning when he works on stage.
