Morning and evening for a year, they contemplate and watch over Saint-Ouen at sunrise and sunset

An orange point of light in the middle of which the silhouette of aniks is cut, look turned in the distance. Around her, from minute to minute, all the shades of white and gray follow one another. This Sunday morning at 8:34 am, while the sun rises, this resident of the 19th arrondissement of Paris begins an hour’s day before Saint-Ouen (Seine-Saint-Denis).

In her wooden shelter lit by the electricity fairy, the teacher gives the impression of being at the top of a lighthouse. At its feet, the large park and the shared gardens are frozen by the cold. The incinerator’s chimney points to the horizon. The first joggers begin their towers of this little corner of greenery. Behind, dominates the very high wall of buildings from Old Saint-Ouen. AniKso is one of the 730 people who participate in the Watcue cycle, a performance imagined by the choreographer Joanne Leighton and his WLDN company.
