Theatrical Performance with Projected Photos
Le petit coin intact is a bilingual (FR/EN) performed monologue with soundscape and projections. The title of this series of short vignettes refers to a core of wholeness and strength so often contained in even the most extreme narratives of violence. Anchored in the performer’s own family story, it explores shared concerns and aspirations around the intergenerational legacy of trauma. This is a one-woman dramatic reflection about holding on tightly to the things worth holding. . . and shedding everything else.
