“Snow White rules her tales” at the Théâtre de la Violette
Traditional tales are no longer really up to date. They are indeed imbued with sexism and full of clichés. This is what Anne-Gaëlle Duvochel denounces with humor in her show, written, directed and performed by her, “Blanche-Neige rules her tales”, which will be on the bill of the Violet Theater this week-end. For it, the actress, storyteller and humorist you share her OCNIunderstand “Unidentified Storytelling Objects”.
Anne-Gaëlle Duvochel has indeed hijacked the stories of our childhood to better tackle sexism in the world of fairy tales. Expect clever puns, a “Super Snow White” or even a rap version of Little Red Riding Hood. Clown, tale and sketch intersect throughout the single stage to succeed in a real performance whose machismo does not emerge unscathed. Princes, supposedly charming, just have to watch out!
