My body as a commodity
your trauma has a beat and the light is very good
My Body as a Commodity is a sultry musical trip that explores the boundaries of fiction. Under high-energy live percussion, theatre maker Anne-Laure Vandeputte explores the tension between the performer's ownership of her body image and how it is viewed.
She meets a director who wants to talk about strong women.
She meets a man who wonders if he appears in the show.
She meets a sex worker in Berlin and bombs her as her own personal jesus.
Together with musician Andrew van Ostade, Vandeputte performs a monologue-on-beats that questions and challenges the narrative about physical trauma.
