Anne-Laure Vandeputte - My Body as a Commodity

My Body as a Commodity is a sweltering musical trip that probes the boundaries of fiction. Under high-energy live percussion, theater maker Anne-Laure Vandeputte investigates the narratives into which our bodies - whether consciously or not - are inscribed.
