“Suomen Perhonen” is an audiovisual creation made by Benjamin Faconnier (composition and trumpet), Samira Ibnelkaïd (lyrics and voice), Frank Libomane (embodiment), and Samuel Housse (piano), filmed in France, to celebrate the unseen threads that connect us all, to remind ourselves that the world is ours to shape with our hopes and joys, our frustrations and pains, our anger and anguish.
This meditative musical, spoken and embodied piece invites spectators into a sensory exploration of identity, belonging, and collective transformation. Through poetic language and evocative imagery, the video celebrates the richness of human plurality —across origins, genders, and experiences— while calling for empathy, reflection, and (inter)action. It challenges us to ask not only who we are in each other’s worlds, but also what kind of world we are shaping together. More than a performance, this piece is a call for metamorphosis —an invitation to feel deeply, to connect, and to co-create a more expansive and desirable future.
We are the architects of human morphosis.
