HiHiHaHa! La grande bibli cracra

Directed by Léa Katharina Meier and performed by Alina Arshi, Mayara Yamada and Léa Katharina Meier, HiHiHaHa! La grande bibli cracra stages three embodied books in a soaked, uncanny library. The piece blends grotesque wonder and cringe to probe shame, traumatic memory and fiction, inventing an archive of feelings populated by strange domestic figures. With comic fabrication and a playful critical eye, it interrogates norms of authority — archives, school, family and heterosexuality — while opening toward unexpected knowledge and future jubilations.

In French.
