Nos corps empoisonnés - Lumière d'août / Le Théâtre

Theatre

Delving into a life of resilience and resistance, this is a superbly embodied documentary theatre as much as it is a captivating investigation.

In a chiaroscuro setting, against a backdrop of archive videos, a life is reconstructed: that of Tran To Nga, a Vietnamese woman involved in a wide range of anti-imperialist, feminist and ecological struggles. As a young resistance fighter during the Vietnam War, she was exposed, like so many others, to the American spraying of Agent Orange. Today, at the age of 83, she is leading a historic trial in France to denounce the ravages of this poison.

Exploring the links between the intimate and the political, author Marine Bachelot Nguyen and actress Angélica-Kiyomi Tisseyre Sékiné, alone on stage, illuminate the journey of this ordinary heroine with an incredible power of embodiment. Fascinating, thrilling and richly documented, this great theatrical tale is acutely topical.
