Caillasses Live • Performance by Joëlle Sambi
Speaking the margins to the rhythms of slam and electronic beats, extracting the beauty, the din, and the rage that oozes from them. "Caillasses Live" is a poetic, electric, and sapphic recital drawn from the book of the same name. A political homage that sometimes makes teeth grind, makes bodies vibrate too, and certainly warms hearts.

Like a poetic-political manifesto, she unfurls the scars of a body-soul imbued with racial, sexist, and homophobic violence. Her language is adorned with a thousand flashes to share the ripe grapes of anger.
