Mezzo, 20’

Meet the artist after the show on 20.10

The room is as black as coal. At the centre, a white, immaculate body splatters the darkness. At once vulnerable and determined, Leïla Ka dances the unquenchable desire, the indomitable revolt and resistance, the stamina which is necessary to gain access to freedom, to tear oneself away from orders and shackles.

In 2021, we welcomed the first performance of her trilogy questioning our contradictions and our intimate disorders, Pode Ser. Se faire la belle is its final instalment. Having shown the difficulties of being oneself and fighting against oneself, this is the time for emancipation, liberation and a fulfilled life
