Chevaleresses

FURTHER AFIELD

Nolwenn Le Doth delivers a striking solo text that confronts the painful subject of incest with rigour and humanity. On stage she navigates denial, shame and anger through a fragmented, puzzle-like dramaturgy that mixes courtroom exchanges, 1980s television sequences, childlike imagination and traumatic memories. The Arthurian combat metaphor threads the piece toward emancipation. Choreography by Thomas Guerry frames movement; Nicolas Maisse (sound), Juliette Besançon (lighting), Coline Galeazzi (costumes) and Claire Gringore (scenography) shape the production, accompanied by a women’s choir led by Tao Mousso.
