Woman's Move danse dance Genève To Make Myself Clear Elsa Couvreur

To Make Myself Clear (2012)

 

 

A young woman is alone on stage.

She translates the others’ words without being able to express her own. She is a hostess, a translator, or maybe is she useless. Through a straight back and deadpan smiles, she tries to rebel, leave or simply let her imagination wander… until she finds herself back in this absurd situation she was in.

​

Inspired by the instinctive use of our bodies when we express ourselves and by the falsely keen greetings from those whose work consists in being in a good mood, ‘To Make Myself Clear’ is the portrait of a neurosis.
