Duration
25 minutes
Mange-Moi is a female contortionist's view of contortion, often performed by young girls, and of the sexualized image that can be projected towards the audience. Mange-Moi exposes this body, making the artist and the spectator who watches her fully aware of her fragility, her sexuality and her femininity. A process of empowerment through the objectification of one's body, Mange-Moi seeks to create a protective distance between the soul and the body.
