In Medieval Crack, the collective Foulles is looking for queer gaps in medieval history, crevices through which other stories, identities and dances can emerge. Attempting to reclaim time and history, the collective gleans the relics and representations of those times as a means of emancipation. For yes indeed, the Middle Ages, too, had their happy days of freedom and enlightenment.
With the help of historian Clovis Maillet, author of the book Les Genres fluides. De Jeanne d’Arc aux saintes trans, the collective questions the semantic shifts that have occurred in the mapping of our bodies. The result is a gaily diverse and unruly fresco.
