Inconditionelles
Dorothée Munyaneza
“We have far more in common than that which divides us”, Kae Tempest
In a women’s prison, Chess and Serena share a cell. They are in love. When Serena is released on parole, the two women are devastated. As an escape, Chess sings and writes songs. She thinks about her crime and her wounds, and composes a song for her daughter. In her quest for redemption through music, she never imagined being caught in her own past.
The Rwandan-British musician, author and choreographer Dorothée Munyaneza - whose debut production this is - was immediately seduced by the beauty and power of Kae Tempest’s language.
The story takes place in an unidentified yet actually fully identified world: this story is the story of women incarcerated for gender-based violence, a subject that sadly is still relevant today!
With the support of the French Embassy in Belgium and the Institut français. As part of EXTRA, a program that supports French contemporary creation in Belgium.
