Besides its performances, the company offers an exhibition of selected objects, showcased by Claire Farah, a scenographer. A number of works have been created by Antoine Blanquart: handmade embroidery, posters, sequined collages, doctored photographs.
It also includes dioramas, still lifes, models, etc,
