Queen Kong

De Hélène Vignal by Georges Lini Un a rough diamond in the shape of an uppercut. Emilie Eechaute literally explodes in this role that she seizes with spirit, skill, and bite. La Libre La play weaves the raw story of a painful emancipation, the portrait of a young girl on fire. (…) An ode to sex from the female point of view: fulfilled, free, joyful, and consensual. Le Soir Aussi powerful as it is moving. A real shock. L'Echo "I know why it makes them crazy. Because I behaved like most guys. I fucked when I wanted, who I wanted, I left right after, I chose without waiting to be chosen." To the group, she is one. A beautiful one. A real one. A big one. A hell of a... That's what they say in the comments that make her phone ring repeatedly, between insults and murderous emojis. But she chooses to see, touch, hear, taste. Without giving in to the pressure and judgment of the pack. She plays by her own rules. Alone? Maybe not... Queen Kong is an incisive and brilliant text carried by a heroine who dynamites the codes and decides to follow at all costs this desire for freedom that beats within her. Whatever the price to pay. Directed by Georges Lini (Iphigénie à Splott, La Soeur de Jésus-Christ...), Queen Kong is the third part of his "Antigone Trilogy" which brings together fierce opponents of fatalism, arbitrariness, and injustices of all kinds. Queen Kong speaks without taboo about sexuality, desire, and fantasy. It is also THE novel acclaimed by young readers upon its release in 2021 who made it THEIR show.
