Maverick, a participant who has been confined for three weeks in a Norman mansion reads a poem as others lie on the ground relaxing at the end of the "contact dance" session on November 17, 2020, in Mortain, in north-western France. - Lost in the middle of the grove and surrounded by teepees. In this refuge far from the pandemic, the days pass to music, to the rhythm of dance, shamanism, or drawing workshops. With three keywords: "letting go", "transcendence" and "ecstasy". To enter this parallel universe, the 30 participants presented a negative PCR test, at the request of the Perchepolis collective, which oversees this miniature event for lack of being able to organize its annual electro festival.
