How should we talk about identity when our language already imposes on us an order of the world that is determined by gender? This is the question Sorour Darabi, a young Iranian choreographer, was confronted with upon arriving in Montpellier to study dance. While the choreographer’s native language of Farsi does not have gender markers, French continually forces a distinction to be made between masculine and feminine, including in the learning of movement. In Farci.e, Darabi confronts the violence of language, experienced as a true “ingurgitation” of established norms. Brilliantly insolent, this solo attacks insidious forms of authority. An unconventional lecture, a speech expressed as a physical ordeal, above all Farci.e reaffirms the beauty of the permanently changing living gesture. A real revelation.
