Laitue matinal·e | Morning Lettuce

Back to programming

Laitue matinal·e | Morning Lettuce

In a trashy Roman-style karaoke bar, Lionel and Xavier lose themselves in the music and imagine a Shakespearian epic where they embody Antony and Cleopatra, all while slandering Caesar – the man, not the salad. Their desire to exist among the people pushes them to fight against an empire that overwhelms them.

It is with the coming of dawn that they rediscover their morning lettuce … eaten too fast from not having known it so ephemeral?

With a good dose of self-mockery, Laitue matinal·e (Morning Lettuce) examines who we are, who we are pressured to be, and the deeply rooted social desire to categorise absolutely everything. It is also an ode to beauty, to resilience, and to the fantastical, spiritual, and initiatory imagination of a community.

Laitue matinal·e is the project of transmasculine artist Lionel Lehouillier, in which he questions the binarity of the French language.
