LES LEVRETTES DE BELLEVILLE

Les Levrettes de Belleville explore, with humour and mischief, a subject rarely tackled head-on: female pleasure. The subject matter could lend itself to provocation or mere activist rhetoric. Yet this show is much more than that. With texts that are sensitive, at times sharp, often funny, and always intelligent. The words move between poetry, intimate confessions and mischief. They are set to music that alternates between piano and a cappella passages. The narrative unfolds with both lightness and depth: it speaks of desire, pleasure and the erotic imagination — not to provoke, but to give voice to a perspective long silenced.

A free-spirited, funny and musical show that reminds us that the theatre can also be a place of play, pleasure and freedom.
