Lecture théâtrale

NOVEMBER 24 AT 6 PM AT THE MERLE MOQUEUR Theatrical reading proposed by La Scène Déménage. WHEREAS, by Layli Long Soldier. Adapted, directed and performed by SOPHIE HOARAU (Compagnie Dès alors). WHEREAS is a response, point by point, word by word, poem by poem, to the resolution of the American Congress that formulated in 2009 the government's apologies to the Indians, a resolution boldly described as "historic reconciliation" - but which went unnoticed... and remained a dead letter. LAYLI LONG SOLDIER, a Sioux poet, questions here the very futility of the notion of apology: if it is essential that the federal state recognize its actions towards the Indian tribes, "reparation" does not depend, has never depended on it, the Indians do not need reconciliation, they are sovereign peoples, have fought and continue to fight for their rights. Moreover, these apologies are addressed in English and there is no word in the Indian language for "excuse" or "sorry", says the author... 7 p.m.: Possibility of a Spanish inn after the show with the dishes brought by each €12 - €10 members - online ticketing https://www.helloasso.com/associations/au-merle-moqueur/evenements/attendu-que-de-layli-long-soldier-par-sophie-hoarau
