WHITEWASHING
RÉBECCA CHAILLON & AURORE DÉON
How can we speak about our experiences as black women in France?
Whitewashing is a dynamic duo of contrasting forces. One, frail and immobilised, trapped in a floor that is never quite white enough. The other, free and powerful, filled with mischief, keeps her gaze fixed on us, embodying the divine spirit of (re)construction.
Together, through the tense iámages they create and the tragic stories they recite, they slowly unravel the complex narrative of Black women.
With this performance, Rébecca Chaillon and Aurore Déon work with stereotypes and fantasies, allowing them to unfold on stage and letting the audience confront them.
Performed in French with English surtitles.
