Contes Givrés Festival - Creature show

Part of the Contes Givrés festival in Burgundy-Franche-Comté, with Julie Boitte and Corentin Dellicour.

Julie Boitte & Corentin Dellicour
On the edge between two worlds. Julie Boitte is a storyteller. By chance. Or because she loves solitude. And because there's nothing like forgetting everything, including yourself, to plunge into a wonderful or very strange story. More of a sleeping beauty than a crowd pleaser, she's only funny when she doesn't know it. Sometimes she changes her voice or looks completely mad beneath her sweet, pale exterior. Corentin Dellicour, the cellist who accompanies her, also explores contemporary music.

Creatures show
Using Giambattista Basile's Fertile Heart (17th century) as a starting point for creating a post-binary, gestural and musical narrative, my initial question was: How can we invite non-gendered characters with non-standard attitudes into storytelling?

Openness to difference, the freedom to do things differently, the possibility of otherness, the deconstruction of any kind of binarity - these are all elements that touch me in my everyday life, and I wanted to make them present in a wonderful tale.
