The Triumph of Metal

It reveals the respect we bear towards species and their ways of being – an inexhaustible well of wisdom, a refuge for regeneration, offered by these beings when the surrounding world seems nothing but bitterness and disgust.

An epic of courage and hope rising from the deepest darkness. Nourished by the roots of alchemy, it retraces the quest for self-overcoming and transmutation, the lightening of the soul – freeing oneself from inner chains to embrace existence with ardent and joyful passion.

An immersion into the ruins of a city perched upon a cliff, sheltered by dark woods and beating rains. It resounds like the inner temple, drowned in tears yet capable of becoming a refuge built upon vulnerability. It teaches us that each one can carve their own foundations into stone, let their happy memories flow like rivers, and thus purify the darkest waters of their psyche.

It speaks of imagination – that power to transfigure the world, to don its attributes and to metamorphose. It also evokes the mental and emotional liberations that spring forth in the alchemical process, as well as the reciprocity between the matter being shaped and the alchemist who is himself transformed by it.

It is a voyage to Japan, land of refinement and turmoil. We walk beside Tomoe Gozen, foremother of the samurai, in her final battle where history blends with imagination. A woman captive of her time, torn between duty and survival – what dreams might she have let bloom, had war not consumed her?

A journey both earthly and cosmic, a musical bridge between matter and the volatile. It explores the waves that course through us, the strength of cerebral connections, able to renew and reinvent themselves – a reminder that no fatality exists, and that music remains the engine of intimate and profound transformation.

An eternal struggle between chaos and order, creation and repetition – until the moon is reached and finally touched. It evokes our feminine and masculine polarities, that hidden source of power we must unite. The Rebis echoes this: the alchemical union that opens the way to the Philosopher’s Stone.

It speaks of the dread of confronting one’s own fears – that decisive instant when one finally acts and the darkness recedes. It also recalls the apprehension preceding the alchemical work, that passage which engenders the metamorphoses necessary for its fulfillment.
