Summary
Chantal Loïal, Guadeloupe choreographer and dancer, crosses her own life with that of Sarah Baartman, known as the Hottentot Venus, represented in Abdellatif Kechiche's film The black Venus, in order to create a voluptuous, surprising, and humorous solo. She points out similarities between the two women's lives and, instead of endlessly replaying their dramas, shows us a body that is gradually being freed from oppressive stares in order to blossom.
Chantal Loïal, choreÌgraphe et danseuse guadeloupeÌenne, croise sa propre vie et celle de Sarah Baartman, connue sous le nom de la VeÌnus hottentote, repreÌsenteÌe dans le film d'Abdellatif Kechiche La VeÌnus noire, afin de creÌer un solo voluptueux, suprenant et plein d'humour. Elle releÌ€ve les points communs entre leurs deux vies de femmes et, au lieu de rejouer sans fin leurs drames, nous montre un corps qui peu aÌ€ peu s'affranchit des regards opressants pour s'eÌpanouir.
