The contemporary dance festival Moving in November is back! Among the featured works is La Gouineraie, a new piece by French duo Sandra Calderan and Rébecca Chaillon. The latter already left the Finnish audience with a strong impression on the festival with her powerful work Whitewashing, presented during the 2024 edition.
Telling the story of a lesbian couple, this performance invites the audience to reflect on different ideas of family: the family we’re born into, the family we choose, and the family we create for ourselves. The piece is supported by the French Institute of Finland.
Description: Rébecca Chaillon, a dyke from the city, and Sandra Calderan, a country lesbian, are a couple on- and off-stage. In this joyful, intimate performance, they attempt to deconstruct, dissect, and analyse what it means to ‘form a family’. La Gouineraie invites the audience into their home-in-the-making.
While Sandra makes frantic attempts to build as many little homes as possible from scrap wood, city girl Rébecca comes to give the countryside a chance. Surrounded by building materials, wrestling with wallpaper or objects from their daily lives, they think about what each person’s position could be within their new home and family.
Tickets: €17 / €33
