Cie. Désir Collectif
LEGS seule en scène
For her very personal solo the actress Edoxi Gnoula confronted herself with her childhood in a difficult and very emotional process. She grew up with her mother in very ordinary circumstances with a father showing up only sporadically. While researching for her solo this summer, she spoke to her father for the first time. «Why am I here?», she asks her mother. «Am I the result of a chance encounter with an unwanted outcome?» Edoxi Gnoula has condensed her inquiries into a touching monologue directed at her father, her mother and herself. On the occasion of Short Pieces she shows an excerpt of her work in progress.
