EN-POUR-SOI
Choreography: Vangelis Legakis
Performed by: Angela Blumberg
Music by: Matthew Orange
Presented at the ProART festival Prague 2009
The piece reveals the struggle of a woman to speak her voice in a patriarchal society. ‘En-Pour-Soi’ are terms by French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre which mean ‘In-For-Itself’. These terms express the objectification within the subject through their life’s journey. The performer is confused between two states that are separated by a thin line; in one side there is the person who becomes an object for another and in the other the person who retains their integrity and respect to themselves.
