La Femme ovale, reenactment (2021)

La Femme ovale, a solo created by Louise Bédard in 2003, has been recreated in 2021 for the camera. Without any artifice on stage, the dancer Marilyn Daoust evokes a character with a restless temperament. This mysterious woman-girl-child, with nervous and tamed movements, unfolds her luminous being and progresses towards a stripping down that reveals her fragile solidity.
