Tears & Queens
In this first show, the artist Marvin M’Toumo, from Guadeloupe, and his company Hibiscus Culturiste bring us a unique experience. Onstage, a series of weeping bodies parades in front of us like a beauty contest… Except that here, it is pain itself that is staged, the individual emotions striking a pose. In the midst of an all-white arena surrounded by the audience, the seven performers in their tailor-made costumes play out the different tears that play a part in our lives, ranging from true ones to false, from authentic to artifice. Before the watchful gaze of a referee-presenter, these weeping figures that go by the names of Diva, Jérémiades, Larmes de crocodile, Drama queen and Démon des larmes, alternate between crying and singing as they dance and allow their emotions to transpire. In an immersive piece full of surprises, Marvin M’Toumo transforms the tears into spectacle, and the stereotypes into food for thought. A show which is as poignant as it is outrageous!
