Jean-François Chevrier: "It is supposed to involve your own experience so as to use the show in order to
think about your own biographical experience, and you add the value,also. The child is related to childhood, and this idea of childhood will come many times.

La genealogie fantastique, is not a name he gave to the thing, but it is about rebuilding, remaking, transforming its genealogy, which means also inventing territory, a personal territory, a territory for his family and himself because genealogy and biography also. It's not only about time, it's also about space.

And that’s interesting for the show because the show is dealing with space and genealogy: as you see there, it’s not only about time because it’s visual and it’s about space, you’ll see, you'll get it at once and it’s about a territory, a very specific territory.

And the biography is between birth and death, so, you should deal with birth, you should deal with death. As
soon as you are born you will die. It’s quite simple but it has to be considered... And the way it works in art.

And that's really about it, because if you read the label you’ll see. He did all this for a play, Henrik Ibsen,
which is called Les Revenants and look at what he says, what one of the characters says: “I sometimes think we are all ghosts, Pastor Manders. It is not just what we have inherited from our parents that returns to us, but it is also all sorts of dead ideas and dead beliefs. They are no longer alive but they weigh our spirit down and we cannot shake them off".

Le Pavot is to forget not to remember, so this is also about forgetting, because, as you know, what you depict the most in your mind is what you forget. That's really the depth, the deepest part of memory."
