Laughter

Sara Selma Dolorès From 16 years old / Some scenes contain nudity [ Duration: 1h45 ] SACD Prize for live performance 2024 Maeterlinck Prize 2025 category Best Author A little respect for clowns! Stuck in a huge green dress, decked out in feathers and sequins, a creature half-clown half-buffoon invites us, for an evening, to free ourselves from the destructive power of the spirit of seriousness. With transgression as a palliative to morals of all kinds, this colorful mistress of ceremonies leads us into a metacabaret at the heart of her questionings and contradictions: What does laughter bring us back to? To our gender, our social class? To our first transgression, our childhood poop? To our right to speak, our legitimacy? Accompanied by three performers, Sara Selma Dolorès explores here the concerns of our time – the 3rd wave of feminism, the morality of the left and the right, the #wecannolongerlaughatanything. From intimate reflections to bar philosophy, she insinuates herself where it grates, pushing the boundaries of our normativities, with contagious self-mockery. What if the world, as we represent it so seriously, was more of a farce? AFTER SCENE - Thu September 17 after the performance. With the show team.
