PRESENTED AT OUR 2015 FESTIVAL
Solitude can be a special place, or a world so small it fits in her suitcase.
Silent, slow and deliberate, steering away from a linear narrative, The White Woman is a poetic and visual performance, without words. Examining the close relationship between performer, object, and viewer, the show centers on a character living in a world filled with puppets, images and allegories. The black-and-white tones inspire layers of meaning while The White Woman shares an intimate moment with you.
Avec La femme blanche, la solitude est un espace privilégié. Avec un silence et une lenteur délibérés, et à des lieux du récit linéaire, La femme blanche est une performance poétique et visuelle, sans paroles.
