Video Performance Screening: Corps Manquant

Alongside Yann Marussich’s performance “Corps Manquant,” the Comédie de Genève is hosting an evening featuring video performances created in Mozambique with videographer Ivan Barros. These videos, developed through intensive workshops with six individuals who are amputees, symbolically explore themes of loss and the reclamation of the body. By blending visual poetry with silent suffering, they provide participants with a unique way to inhabit their bodies and share their stories beyond borders.
