My Body as a Commodity - Anne-Laure Vandeputte

My Body as a Commodity is a sultry musical trip that explores the boundaries of fiction. Under high-energy live percussion, theater maker Anne-Laure Vandeputte investigates the narratives into which our bodies - consciously or not - are inscribed. Together with musician Andrew Van Ostade, Vandeputte brings a monologue-on-beats that questions and challenges the narrative about physical trauma. She meets a director who wants to talk about strong women, a man who wonders if he appears in the show, and a sex worker in Berlin whom she bombards into her own personal jesus. Trigger warning: there may be sexual violence / where there’s pain there’s a party. “My body as a commodity is visually and musically impressive, a fearless catharsis.” - Floris Baeke, De Standaard Concept & text Anne-Laure Vandeputte Performance Anne-Laure Vandeputte & Andrew Van Ostade Muziek Andrew Van Ostade & Anne-Laure Vandeputte Tekst dramaturgy Purni Morell Eindregie Lisa Verbelen Lichtontwerp Caroline Mathieu Sceography Gilles Pollak Koscostume design Sam de Mol Geluidsontwerp & technique Korneel Moreaux Geluidstechniek Bart Vincent Lichttechniek Bert Van Dijck, Luc Schaltin & Gilles Pollak Beeld Lucinde Wahlen Graphic design Evi Peeters Productie KWP Kunstenwerkplaats
