Solaris is a seminal work of literary science fiction written by Polish author Stanisław Lem in 1961. At a time when the impact of human activity is endangering the Earth, the idea of revisiting this work seems crucial and thrilling. On the initiative of Cie Miroirs Étendus, video artist Jacques Perconte and composer Othman Louati bring together human voices, instrumental forces, analogue synthesizers, texts, and videos to question our relationship with the world.
