Mademoiselle
Short choreographic film 2022
Mademoiselle is a project thought for screen and stage performance in collaboration with a team of video creators, Wrong Time Collectif.
Mademoiselle deals with the feminist struggle against sexism and gender discriminations. We want to talk about the widely held and disseminated idea that there are great innate differences between the sexes and therefore denounce the way in which these differences are instrumentalised to become sources of discrimination and hierarchy.

The film is recorded with a single steady camera alone, metaphor of the inquisite look upon bodies.
The Stadium de Vitrolles and its countryside serve as a background to this short movie. The four company’s dancers will support the subject of the choreography with a powerful movement overthrowing the prejudices about a « feminine » dance. Both actress and victims of sexist situations, both producer and screen fantasy objects, they are the refection of gender discriminations and activist of a new sexism-free world.
The scenography, metaphor of a body-object and media stigmas, will integrate two screens and specific sets. |

Collective creation
A mixed team, because sexism and gender bias concern us all.
We dream of a world in which differences (whether gender or other) are celebrated and open to a diversity of choices in our lives and desires.
A world in which a person is selected not by its gender but by its desires and skills. The deconstruction of gender stereotypes allows to build this world.
The artists in the project therefore adhere to it regardless of their gender. However, we are also aware of the weight of our social constructions, which is why, beyond the roles of each (choreography, interpretation, realization, music, dramaturgy), Mademoiselle will be collective creation.
