La Poème
Crying Out Loud, in partnership with Summerhall presents: Company Bal / Jeanne Mordoj
Joyously strange, a work of both great femininity and bestiality, La Poème is an intense play in which Jeanne Mordoj, a ventriloquist, juggler and contortionist, delves deeper into her reflections on female identity. She explores both the infinitely gracious and the monstrous, each potentially present within the other. While Jeanne Mordoj is a stubborn feminist, she is not furious and combative, but mischievous and unshakable. A cult figure in her native France, before this new work she was renowned for her solo show as a bearded woman.
