“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), composed in Finland and recorded between Finland and 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 musical, spoken and embodied piece invites us into a multisensory exploration of identity, belonging, and collective transformation. This piece is meant to celebrate the richness of human pluralities and to call for empathy, reflection, and kind (inter)actions. 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.
