On t'appelle Vénus

Description

Chantal Loïal, Guadeloupe choreographer and dancer, crosses her own life with that of Sarah Baartman, known as the Hottentot Venus, represented in Abdellatif Kechiche's film The black Venus, in order to create a voluptuous, surprising, and humorous solo. She points out similarities between the two women's lives and, instead of endlessly replaying their dramas, shows us a body that is gradually being freed from oppressive stares in order to blossom.
