“Jessea” is a multi media performance experience comprising of a video projection, a 7 minute live appearance, a drawing by the artist. The character of “Jessea” is a mythical creature reminiscence of a ghostly figure, a virgin, a bride, a Goddess. Drawn from the schematic representation of a family tree, Coco Dolle created Jessea as a metaphorical figure for life and death in constant movement, triggering our common mysterious unveiled memories as she walks and moves her choreographed gestures. In the realm of the film noir genre, a 8mm video has been created in collaboration with the photographer Andrew Gosselin, as well as an original soundtrack composed by multi talent artist Pierrot with poetical lyrics by Coco. Coco Dolle will perform live in this creation that serves ‘Jessea’ as implements of her world.
