Room 11
La Honte
To be ashamed makes the individual aware of its existence and the gaze of the other. When one is ashamed, one blushes, one returns to oneself. It is necessary to detach oneself from this feeling in order to move forward.La Honte tells us about the experience of five performers and builds shameful fiction from their stories. It shows a tremendously fragile adult playground. In this context, several questions arise: if we could listen to the "mental pollution" in which we are immersed, what would it sound like? What would it tell us? What are the dancer's thoughts when he is preparing for the action or while executing his movements?The contradiction of the performer on stage facing his shame brings us back to everyday situations where "saying and doing" are not necessarily the same thing. We look and are looked at, absurdly human. As someone said, "if you want to be understood, get yourself a good translator.
