Violent, vulnerable, an ocean of luminous and murderous eroticism.

 

 

Dedicated to Rénée Saurel, Natsu and the women of the Mei Lanfan club.

A white deck chair, a large fan, a bonsai, combs of mother-of-pearl, a decapitated head carved out of wood, long hat pins to pierce its eyes and tongue and for adorning the hair, a red dressing gown, a white silk nightdress. Through the justification of the biblical story of Judith, the performance explores the theme of violence and vulnerability, plunging into an ocean of luminous and murderous eroticism.
