Gesture as defense, Singing as hope, Word as liberation. With these poetic and political solos, the director and writer Dominique Zay, coming from Picardie, tries to broach the questions of confinement and exclusion. Supported by the MCA, this serious and committed project faces reality. In Gesture as defense, a man who was mistreated during his childhood, re-lives the pain of confinement when he thought he had overcome it. Progressively, he will go back to these moments of suffering and say how, thanks to his imagination, he could escape them. In Singing as hope, a woman who fled her native country (because intolerance confined her identity) arrives, with no papers, in a big city, a somewhere else where she hoped to be free. In fact, she’ll find freedom in singing and writing. In Word as liberation, a man tells how, a long time ago, he committed a horrible murder. Sentenced to life imprisonment, he’s planning an evasion, the only way to be definitely freed from this confinement. These 3 solos created and played by the Art Tout Chaud Company – very committed in supporting so-called “difficult” publics (foreigners without papers, gypsies, people in psychiatric hospital…) – account for the cruel reality that we refuse to see.
