Movies to leave something behind
Since its beginning, Compagnie TESTUDINES has explored the porous boundary between audiovisual art and live performance. Our work is rooted in a profound conviction: art is a universal language— a powerful tool for encounter, transformation, and transmission.
Throughout our projects, we have woven strong ties between artistic creation and cultural action, guided by a deeply human, inclusive spirit. We love crafting projects that resemble us, projects that gather and unite, and we particularly cherish working with audiences considered “unique” or “singular.”
Together, we create audiovisual works that leave "TRACES", that awaken genuine emotion, and reveal the beauty of shared moments.
Far from filters and façades, we celebrate the magic of suspended instants—where art gives birth to unexpected, breathtaking encounters.

PAR UN FIL DE LA GODASSE, c’est une aventure artistique et humaine autour de la mémoire et du souvenir et de la maladie d’Alzheimer. Pendant plusieurs mois, des personnes âgées et des artistes se rencontrent, se partagent et tissent par le théâtre, la danse, le slam et les arts plastiques, un fil tout en délicatesse et en émotions. Par un fil de la Godasse en somme !

Souveniromaniac
Noun: A person addicted to the memories hidden deep in their shoes
In 2025, we immersed ourselves in the Lycée de la Plaine de l’Ain, working with sophomores to create a fiction film centered on memory—an echo to our upcoming piece La Godasse.
Between Dreams and Fiction…
A group of teenagers is watching a horror movie when smoke begins to seep from the air vent. Trapped in the living room, panic rises as the air becomes unbreathable. Only Aurore remains still—silent—at the heart of the chaos.
Will they make it out alive?
