Batch.A show to bring the voice of victims of violence and abuse of powers<

Wanda est comédienne, mais pourrait être n’importe quelle femme, une ouvrière, une coiffeuse, une cadre…, voire pourrait être un homme. Avant de devenir une comédienne, une femme accomplie, Wanda, durant son parcours, comme malheureusement trop de femmes, a subi les pièges courants, les abus de pouvoir, le sexisme, les mauvaises rencontres…

Wanda is certainly a fictitious character, from an original story, written and imagined by Céline Cohen, of the company Voraces, but could be any other woman or man.Wanda is the main character of "A against choice", the first theatrical creation of the young company "Vivre Libre ou Shrimp" by Lénaïck Colaquois, to be discovered on the stage of Cahors in the Lotle November 25, 2021 and Montcuq on November 27, 2021.

She has been working on this project for two years, which started following a meeting with Céline Cohen and Wilfried Tisseyre, of the company Voraces.

A lived story

This spectacle, whose framework is inspired by lived history, is only one on stage of 50 minutes, where Wanda, played by Lénaïck Colaquois, will tell her journey, find an echo in the news, with the movement "Balance Ton Cirque", Who denounces sexist practices, humiliations with regard to women and men, who exist in artistic schools.This unprecedented spectacle can give women and men the strength, the courage to express themselves freely, to denounce the unnameable, so that such abuses of power cease, everywhere, in the whole society.

Throughout the show, in the background, accompanying the text interpreted by Lénaïck, is broadcast the music freely created by Wilfried Tisseyre.Light and management are worked by Eric Laborde.Wanda's costume was produced by Élise Thieffry.
