Surveillé et punie
Le Théâtre Prospero présente sa nouvelle production Surveillée et punie dans le cadre du Festival TransAmériques 2024
“Sublimer la haine, voilà l’ambition qui lie l’autrice-compositrice-interprète Safia Nolin et le metteur en scène Philippe Cyr. Ensemble, il et elle s’emparent des milliers de véritables insultes proférées à l’égard de la chanteuse comme matière première d’une création hors norme et entièrement musicale. Quel sens donnons-nous à la liberté d’expression lorsqu’elle se matérialise en violence?
Nolin se place courageusement au centre du dispositif, face à un grand chœur qui déverse son fiel. Dans une puissante célébration du geste artistique et un vibrant appel au collectif, sororité et solidarité se déploient. Face à la punition infligée par la parole publique, toutes les permissions sont accordées par la musique, jusqu’à renverser les dynamiques antagonistes. Armée de sa guitare, Safia Nolin se réapproprie enfin l’espace dont on la chasse. “
