Works of writer, video artist and director Valérie Mréjen have been exhibited in various galleries in France. She also has many short films and documentaries to her name and her work "En Ville" was screened at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival’s "Fifteen Days of Directors" section. Inspired by sound art, and its surprising and creative way of imitating noises, Valérie Mréjen imagines a family tale of science fiction. One night, the dreams of a child are transformed into a fantasy right in front of our eyes when three aliens start talking to each other in a made-up language and create sounds with daily life objects. The child integrates these sound effects in his sleep and its animated dreams become true on stage. Awe-filled images loaded with sounds of simple objects... Everyday goods like papers and pipes turn horses, frogs, thunder and rain into real images in the imagination of a child.
