"With X! Un opéra fantastique", Gérald Kurdian, "a militant performer at the crossroads of disciplines, imagines a unique object: a musical fable, a solo opera for a performer and an artificial intelligence that reinvents alternative mythologies for bodies that are deprived of them. She stages herself in an autofiction that oscillates between diary and epic fresco, documentary and 3D sets. Her character, straight out of a queer club, encumbered by a sword symbolizing a deep-rooted wound, wanders through the open world of a heroic fantasy game. She navigates between the digital memory of a computer, nourished by the virilist imaginary of Wagnerian opera, and the hope of an ecofeminist future, freed from the shackles of capitalism, which salutes the care given to intimacy and welcomes the vulnerability of each and every one. An initiatory tale, a journey of liberation for the hallucinated version of Gérald herself,
"X ! Un opéra fantastique" is an act of reparation with a collective scope, a portrait of marginalized activist scenes in the form of a manifesto for a sensitive revolution."
