Quasimodo au miroir

Taking as her starting point a fictional character popularised by the Disney cartoon, the famous hunchback of Notre Dame, artist No Anger deconstructs the representations conveyed by this famous figure by putting her own body into play. How do you inhabit a representation while subverting the norms it conveys - revealing the imaginary, the social logics it conveys while redefining the way we look at the disabled body? From the experience of the mirror to the stage, dance becomes a means of freeing ourselves from the shackles, and using the resources of the body to express the vertigo of identification. In a performance in the form of a reappropriation, No Anger simultaneously reinvents the self and broadens perception: that of a body in all its states, subverting norms and affirming the plasticity of being - beyond alienating images and dominant narratives.

No Anger

Using video, dance and writing, artist No Anger creates performative forms that question and subvert mainstream modes of expression, in order to take a fresh look at the body. Whether through her blog A mon geste défendant, the research and creation collective Ostensible or her performances, her work aims to capture an imaginary world freed from normative images. Drawing on popular culture, No Anger's performances seek to extract and make visible the creative potential of her lesbian and disabled body.
