I’m a loner is simply about the chance encounter between Mélanie Gobet, who uses balloons in her artistic practice, and a community of balloon fetishists. This experience tinged with humor and humanity translates into an immersive spatial and sound performance, like an ode to balloons and their enthusiasts. Against a backdrop of fetishism and voyeurism, the performance also addresses the themes of solitude and the encounter with the other, the pure joy of simple pleasures, childhood and the setting of inner movement.
