A Pinch of Kola
- film screening
Screening of the two first series of Eden Tinto Collin's quantic sitcom 'A Pinch of Kola'.

We will be watching the two seasons of the quantum sitcom A Pinch of Kola. It features Jane Dark, a character who travels around France and activates the memory of places steeped in history.
The sitcom is part of a long line of revivals of the Joan of Arc archetype, a highly symbolic historical figure in the French national narrative. This reactivation of the figure was motivated by the need to continue a debate of ideas at a time when Joan of Arc is being summoned by the far right. To act as Jane Dark is to allow the mystique of disorder, but also of farce, to work its philosophical magic. Laughter as treatment, even as a safety net.
This sitcom is driven by the genius loci of the spaces it passes through. When at La Villette, we know that the place is a former slaughterhouse; when teleported to Nantes, we know that we have to deal with the memory of enslaved people. This allows us to consider territory as a decentred organism, crossed by other territories with which it is in constant relation.

Trained at the École nationale supérieure d'arts de Paris-Cergy, she is developing a hybrid artistic practice, both poetic and hypermedia, through noetic devices that link mind and spirit. Her works, mainly in the form of installations, explore networks, interdependencies and frictions between melancholy, mythologies and post-, trans- and cyber-human imaginaries. In 2021, she published Bonne Arrivée, a generational tale of initiation, and founded Acéphale Studio (Joinville-le-Pont), followed by Ka Libre Ensemble, a production company. In 2024, Roaming The Imaginal marked her first solo exhibition in Belgium at Beursschouwburg.
