your trauma has a beat 

 

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 narratives in which our bodies are inscribed - consciously or unconsciously.

She meets a director who wants to talk about strong women.
She meets a man who wonders if he is 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.

“My body as a commodity is visueel en muzikaal indrukwekkend, een onbevreesde catharsis.”
