Story – Autobiographical black comedy showThis solo autobiography show places Stéphanie Morin-Robert at the heart of the story. She upstages (and on screen) her childhood story and how she has grown up with a glass eye. But it’s also the story of her quest as an adult to push back the boundaries of representing a woman’s body on stage. Surrounded by a screen, a light and a camera, she generously invites us into her intimacy as well as into her head, literally. A mix of storytelling, contemporary dance, live projection and puppetry featuring her glass eye. Charming, touching, unexpected and laugh-out-loud funny, ANGLE MORT is a captivating tale delivered with vulnerability by an infectious performer.
