Anne-Laure Vandeputte

Your trauma has a beat

My Body as a Commodity is a sultry musical journey that explores the boundaries of fiction. Amidst high-energy live percussion, theatre maker Anne-Laure Vandeputte explores the narratives into 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'll be in the show. She meets a sex worker in Berlin and transforms her into her own personal Jesus. Together with musician Andrew van Ostade, Vandeputte delivers a monologue-on-beats that questions and challenges the narrative surrounding bodily trauma.

Please note : Thematic stimuli, there may be sexual violence.
