'Hiatus' takes us on a visual and audio journey to discover a lesser-known image of Marseille's northern neighbourhoods. Like ‘hiatuses’, these spaces are cuts between the cities, discontinuities between earth and concrete, interruptions in urbanisation in favour of nature.
This multi-sensory, immersive experience highlights the diversity and richness of the flora in Marseille's northern districts, despite the stress caused by human activity.
To demonstrate the resilience of these marginal species, Euphorbia peregrina, harvester and collector, and D. Jekyll, a rave-influenced DJ, create a herbarium on stage, accompanied by a flow of images and set to the rhythm of fast-paced electronic music.

•
D. Jekyll, whose music is known as ‘club’ music, recalls in this project the origins of electronic music, a music conceived and disseminated by minorities as an outlet, offering vivid spaces for the gathering of demands.
Like plants - constrained but resilient - and northern neighbourhoods - stigmatised but rich in diversity - his music comes from the margins and speaks of their freedom and persistence. From techno to hardcore, these sounds are still more prevalent on the urban fringes, in free parties and warehouses.

Euphorbia peregrina uses the herbarium as a poetic medium for peregrination and contemplation. She explores suburban environments, extracting images, sounds and samples to build up a collection of elements that tell the story of the evolution of these plants in these outlying environments.
