Confession publique (Public Confession)

Back to programming

Confession publique (Public Confession)

With its title as a promise, Confession publique (Public Confession) explores ambiguity and paradoxes, examines the noble and the vulgar, oscillates between grace and brutality.

Choreographer Mélanie Demers makes faithful collaborator Angélique Willkie her muse. Two creative soulmates explore together the act of telling their story without modesty. The result is a punchy solo, where anecdotes become painful secrets and where the body reveals as much, if not more, than words. The trust that emerges from the encounter between these two artists allows for a total unveiling, a courageous exposure. On the stage, Willkie, the raw material of the show, cannot escape our gaze. Next to her, an enigmatic presence, sometimes devoted, sometimes hostile, manipulates the space and organizes it. With powerful voice and bewitching presence, the performer delivers the beauty and the depths of her soul with strength and fragility.
