MAIF Social Club (Paris 3rd)
About
"Why on earth is the Middle Ages making such a comeback? " asks Pamina de Coulon in MALEDIZIONE. An opportunity to wonder who tells which story and for what purpose, to reflect on (re)generation and the possibility of choosing one's genealogies, while evoking, without transition, life with plastics, women's aging, and the choice not to have children.
With her leaping thought, which never ceases to surprise, inform, and delight us, Pamina casts a counter-spell to question our shame and radically extend our empathy.
Pleins feux by Yannaï Plettener: Always through a formidable oral and poetic performance, she offers an aerial journey through the centuries, which questions the origin of male domination and the construction of great historical narratives, defends aging and the choice not to have children, curses indifference, and pleads for radical empathy.
