Founded by singer–performer Claudio Girard in 2018, Fleur Inverse is an inter-art collective devoted to researching the co-existence and communication between different artistic disciplines and their possibilities of formalisation in performance.

The interaction of voice and music, movement, theatre and the visual arts is at the core of Fleur Inverse’s approach to performance making. 

An exploration of diverse artistic languages and structures, often coming from different times and cultural traditions, allows for an open attitude towards the artistic material that thus reveals its texture and hidden colours, often in an ‘unfinished’ way. 

This dialogue between dance and singing, music and images, brings to life new forms, exemplifying the tension between tradition and the search for unknown expressive directions. 

The musical compositions of Roland de Lassus, Claudio Monteverdi, Henry Purcell, as well as those of John Coltrane and Meredith Monk, are reimagined through their dialogue with electronic music and improvisation. This shifts the perspective of the performer, allowing for unexpected contexts to manifest.

An active interest in mythology, archetypal psychology, philosophy and alchemy informs the content of Fleur Inverse’s performance work and its understanding of the role, both intimate and social, that the arts have for humanity. 

The beauty of the musical repertoire and the many possibilities within Fleur Inverse's approach keeps guiding this ongoing research, re-evaluating the notion of tradition and revealing new grounds for music, dance–theatre and story-telling.
