Description
A solo between contortion and theater, exploring the art of bending over backwards. Between humor and a critical eye, this intimate, offbeat form questions our relationship with work, in a sensitive, aesthetic and engaging experience.
An intimate, aesthetic and political experience combining contortion and theater. A sensitive, offbeat sharing of experience to question our relationship with work.
Elodie Guézou invites us to take part in an intimate, aesthetic and political experience combining contortion and theater.
Her object of study? Her relationship with work, and why and how she bent herself into 4 (literally and metaphorically).
Through fragments of her life, she sketches out her personal journey of professional deformation: the (non)choice of career path, her meeting with a professional circus artist, a voice message from her mother, her first contortion pro-gram, an act listing all the contortion performances she has passed through during her career... and finally the meeting with the specialist who diagnoses her with burn out.
A sensitive, offbeat sharing of experience to question our relationship with work.
