LE JEU DES FUSIONS by Yasha Vetkine | France | 2026 

Duration: 00:12:00

The characters are outsiders, outcasts, urban nomads, those who oppose mainstream communities. They are wandering throughout Mediterranean suburbs and deviant spaces looking for a monastery of their own. A game of fusions is a ritual performed in order to radiate a common sense of individuality without a formal frame.

Only a game can follow dynamics intuitively, only a game of fusion can lead us to the unknown, to the transparent future. A game with no rules. A play meant to follow our daydreams and to observe ourselves. The film is simply a way to exist – it is a game of presence.

Director’s statement
The goal is to rediscover Mediterranean spaces as a common shelter. Identity is no longer a static figure. It is a free construct changing in real-time. My goal is to follow those changes and to convert this experience into visual arts. The characters are somewhere on edge between vagabonds and performers. They are dancing on the ashes of their past. Art is a certain territory of freedom, a territory where an artist together with a spectator can create a model, and later render that model into a new reality.
