La Mouche (Blanche)
There is no exact counterpart in English for the word “mouche” in its multiple meanings. While the term directly translates to “fly” when referring to the insect, it can also indicate the artificial beauty mark that gained significant popularity in France and Europe from the 16th century onwards. This inherent ambiguity in meaning permeates the entire project. The mouche, our mischievous protagonist, clandestinely weaves through a series of playful stories set in diverse locations and historical periods — sometimes appearing as an insect, at other times disguising herself as a beauty mark. To bind these scenes together are the desire to unleash imagination, a dash of wit, personal life events, the mouche herself, and, of course, opera and daisies — pretty obvious, isn’t it?
