From the jury
“My Body as a Commodity hits like a bomb, with the cool of a hip performance and all the hidden pain, anger, and confusion that comes with relational violence.”

your trauma has a beat

My Body as a Commodity is a sultry musical trip that explores the boundaries of fiction. Under high-energy live percussion, theatre-maker Anne-Laure Vandeputte explores the narratives in which our bodies are inscribed – consciously or unconsciously.

She meets a director who wants to talk about strong women.

She meets a man who wonders if he is in the show.

She meets a sex worker in Berlin and bombs her as her own personal jesus.

Together with musician Andrew van Ostade, Vandeputte performs a monologue-on-beats that questions and challenges the narrative about physical trauma.
