Watched and Punished | Philippe Cyr & Safia Nolin

Synopsis ⋆˚✿˖° ♡ ‧₊˚ ⋅ ౨ৎ ‧₊ .ᐟ What meaning do we give to freedom of expression when it materializes into violence? Faced with this insoluble question, Safia Nolin and Philippe Cyr dedicate themselves to sublimating hatred. Seizing the thousands of words of insults uttered towards the singer, they make them the raw material of an extraordinary and entirely musical creation. In a powerful celebration of the artistic gesture and a vibrant call to the collective, sisterhood and solidarity unfold. Armed with her guitar and surrounded by a strong and proud community, Safia Nolin reclaims the space from which she is chased. Both majestic and vulnerable in this stripping bare, alongside her alter ego, she thwarts expectations and frees herself from the weight of fear. Faced with the punishment inflicted by public speech, all permissions are granted by music, to the point of transforming antagonistic dynamics. Off the walls: ෴⚘෴⚘෴⚘෴⚘෴⚘෴⚘෴ Les Halles de Schaerbeek
