_Synopsis
Ceci Est Mon Coeur is an immersive site-specific work exploring an extraordinary love story, that of a child's reconciliation with his body. It's an immersive tale in which the audience, wrapped in a connected garment and embellished with luminous embroidery, is swept up in a poetic experience that is both aural and visual.
Ceci Est Mon Coeur offers a sensory odyssey in which the audience sees the connected garment light up in synchronisation with the text of the story.
Designed to accommodate 30 people simultaneously, Ceci Est Mon Coeur is an installation intended for cultural and artistic centres and venues dedicated to immersive experiences.

Bliesbro
Film directors
Bliesbro (Nicolas Blies and Stéphane Hueber-Blies) is a duo of digital artists, directors, scriptwriters and film producers who create their work together. Multidisciplinary in its artistic approach, Bliesbro seeks to develop a form of “social poetry”.
In 2015, the duo conceptualized the documentary music transmedia Soundhunters in co-production with ARTE. Soundhunters was imagined to transform the world into an infinite musical instrument. The transmedia was released in 2015 in collaboration with many international artists including Jean Michel Jarre, Simonne Jones or Blixa Bargeld. In 2016, Bliesbro was invited to present its work at Lincoln Center during the New York Film Festival. The project was placed in 2016 under the high patronage of UNESCO.
In 2019, Bliesbro wrote and directed Zero Impunity about the impunity of sexual violence in wartime. Hybridizing animation and live action, the film is considered one of the precursors in the field, particularly for its ability to « Figuring the unmentionable ». The duo was invited by the Annecy International Animation Film Festival to participate in the traditional "Cinema Masterclass" of the festival to talk about the issue of "sexual violence in animation". In 2021, the film was nominated for the Trophées Francophones du Cinéma in the "Best Documentary" category.
In 2024, the duo released the digital art installation Ceci est mon coeur, about the reconciliation of a child with his body, mixing video-mapping and connected clothing. The World Premiere of Ceci est mon coeur took place during the Venice International Film Festival, then selected out of competition at the Cannes Film Festival. In 2025, the project was distinguished during the prestigious “Breakthroughs in Storytelling Awards” from Columbia University New York City.
