My Body as a Commodity

your trauma has a beat My Body as a Commodity is a sultry musical trip that probes the boundaries of fiction. Under high-energy live percussion, theater maker Anne-Laure Vandeputte investigates the narratives in which our bodies - consciously or unconsciously - are inscribed. She meets a director who wants to talk about strong women. She meets a man who wonders if he appears in the show. She meets a sex worker in Berlin and bombards her to be her own personal jesus. Together with musician Andrew van Ostade, Vandeputte brings a monologue-on-beats that questions and challenges the narrative about physical trauma.
