— ABOUT THE PROJECT

Groteska is a theatre-dance piece where I will work on the writing and the exploration doing an artistic workshop next to women from the community organization of HLM Bienville in Longueuil that will nourish the writing of the piece.

Groteska- Creativity and Storytelling as a Tool for Women’s Empowerment.

Groteska is a theatre-dance piece discussing the reality of a street worker, an individual working with youth and marginalized people in neighborhoods of Longueuil and St. Hubert, and her encounters with women experiencing violence, sexual abuse, racism, poverty, and other invisibilized issues.
