The glorious procession of false and sad nuns

A pirate radio studio hidden in a convent. A nun makes a call on the airwaves. She is looking for answers about a news item that occurred within these walls, years ago. A woman arrives. Then two, then three. Torn between despair and disturbing fantasy, they will try to unravel the false from the true, invoke memories and fables around this unresolved mystery. Through their erratic investigation, they take us into the heart of their intimate mystics. Can one reconcile one's faith with a life judged "deviant"? How to believe while being excluded from God's love? Is there compatibility between queerness and religiosity? Through a narrative of the fragment and an explosive theatricality, La glorieuse procession des fausses et tristes nonnes brings together past and present, ghosts and the living in a mysterious studio. There, stories of stifled dissent gush out – blocks of desire, cruelty, and raw revolt. Here, women can exist in all their grandiloquence, their vulnerability, or their strangeness. Subversive, they invite us to adopt a free and sensitive look at the weight of conventions. Après La Litanie of the Agonizing, the Helen Zaas company continues to explore the notion of the sacred, this time associating lesbian love with it. Through stories mixing religiosity and marginality, this new creation breathes into us the urgency to reappropriate our religious heritage, no longer only through beliefs and dogmas, but through the liberating prism of stories of insubordination. By freeing the figure of the nun from the shackles where she is usually locked up, La glorieuse procession des fausses et tristes nonnes creates breaches of freedom and joy, paving the way for new beguines and an uninhibited spirituality.
