Chantal Loïal, choreographer and dancer from Guadeloupe, creates a voluptuous surpising solo inspirated both by her own life and the one of Sarah Baartman, also known as the "Hottentot Venus", featured in Abdellatif Kechiche's movie The Black Venus. With humour, she highlights their commonexperiences and instead of focusing on their dramas, show us a body that throws off oppressive gazes and flourishes.
