[And why do I have to speak like you ?]
a show by and with Anouk Grinberg and Nicolas Repac
from 22 April to 17 May 2020 - Small Theater
Accompanied by musician Nicolas Repac, Anouk Grinberg embraces the words of women and men closed up in psychiatric hospitals. While they were interned, these people wrote letters, texts, songs, words of hope, love, confession, reproach, misunderstanding and hopeless dreams.
These “outsider art” texts are authentic songs of life. The voices of these overlooked authors resonate on stage alongside poets such as Henri Michaux or Emily Dickinson through the combined voice and music of an actress and a musician: powerful cries of raw poetry.
