« Because in each story there are fragments of an ancient story, that of another, that of the painter, the musician, the poet, mine or yours. Gaung draws these stories, that of the painter and his fetish model, that of the radical and absolute disappearance of the loved one, that of the ultimate fracture of oneself and its reconstruction.
Gaung leaves to be discerned, to be perceived, to be felt: without narrative framework, without understandable fable, without composed chronology,
opening to the spectator the vast paths of uncertainty, suggesting an oblique, moving glance, the exaltation of the moment. The painter’s studio is however there. The painter is there. He paints, obviously. Mamoma is also there, perhaps occupied with other things, with other visions of itself, searching for its multiple personalities inscribed, placed on its wooden frame.
The musicians: they are there too, sitting down. Their music is haunting, incantatory. No doubt they are not alone, sitting there, creating and conducting the vibratory amplifications of distant sounds ».

« Inspired by oceanographic explorations and ocean mythology, Aquavitae offers a dreamlike portrait of the ocean on stage. Through an underwater walk where visual and sound poetry unfolds, this work offers to enrich our views and points of view on this aquatic world endangered by human activities. »

« Once upon a time, there was a kingdom rich of natural resources. Its soil was fertile, its sea was wide. Nevertheless, the widespread poverty of its people didn’t represent its wealth at all since the greedy king exploited all the resources for his own benefit. Corruption, tax raising, kingdom’s asset selling and all policies being made had only one aim, increasing king’s wealth. »
