UNE FEMME EST UN ARTICHAUT

Expressionist one-woman show - (Almost) autobiographical danced and narrated story La Cie Yamuna (Marseille) presents Expressionist one-woman show Tragicomic (almost) autobiographical story Direction and dramaturgy: Patrick Rabier Writing and performance: Ofra Hoffman Soundtrack and original music: Amos Hoffman, Ofra Hoffman Costume: Catherine Oliviera Lighting design: Patrick Rabier Stage manager: Olivier Schwab A dancer prepares to go on stage, but instead of dancing, she begins to talk. Through a pseudo-autobiography, the play explores different situations in a woman’s life, represented by several characters, each more absurd than the last. However, it is not the anecdotes of this journey that are at the heart of the show, but the questions they raise: about identity, hypocrisy and exclusion within our societies. These are approached with nonchalance, merciless humor and, also, tenderness.
