Tongueless Mother tongue
21.06.2024
solo show


Un mélange d’histoires, d’émotions, de réflexions et de discussions où le fil du temps entre en fusion, un liquide bouillant où les bulles de chaleur remontent à la surface, explosent et fondent à nouveau.
J’ai choisi ce titre – tiré du livre éponyme de la poétesse Kim Hyesoon – pour accompagner cette scène de théâtre sans paroles.


« The lines were gone, leaving only the actor’s movements. Unlike a pantomime, they did not embody or exaggerate anything. It was simply that none of the actors made a sound. »

« Silence was no longer the opposite of sound, but the other side of sound, or reverse sound »

« The experience of being deprived of words meant that my tongue died prior to my own death »

« It is as if the reader is in the state of ‘being possessed’ (Note that the Korean word ‘deulim’ (’being possessed’) is a homonym for ‘hearing’, ‘lifting’, and ’stopping by’). »

– Tongueless mother tongue, Kim Hyesoon –
