Cette fiction inspirée du célèbre fait-divers dont les soeurs Papin sont à l'origine, est une occasion de découvrir la poésie surprenante de Jean Genet, figure majeure du théâtre français du 20ème siècle.

50 years after the publication of 'The Lesbian Body' and 20 years after her death, we honour the life and work of the French philosopher Monique Wittig (1953-2003) with two responses to her work. Wittig's focus on the abolition of the gender-class system inspired generations of (lesbian) feminists to engage with her ideas about the body, gender and sex.

By breaking the boundary between text and body, three artists respond to her work in translation: Monique Todd reads 'What is in m/y eye?' in response to 'The Lesbian Body' (1973), Amina Szecsödy and Chloe Chignell perform 'Shadow Text' in response to 'Les Guérillères' (1971).

This program will take place in English. Starts at 20:00 (doors open at 19:30). This event is part of #Wittig2023, an initiative of Ami.es de Wittig.
