No Anger «Quasimodo aux miroirs»

In «Quasimodo aux miroirs» the examination of the legacy of cultural body images is condensed into a choreographic reflection on identity, queer desire and crip representation. The starting point is the character of Quasimodo - embodied in the Disney animated film and in the musical Notre Dame de Paris - which, as one of the few popular representations of a disabled body, shaped the childhood of No Anger (artist and researcher).
Quasimodo serves here as the starting point for a multi-layered investigation: how do our deeply rooted, culturally moulded body images influence our perception of real bodies? NoAnger's performance dissects the normative expectations of the body and tracesthe path of a (re)appropriation of one's own body: from the ambivalent identification with Quasimodo, the fear of embodying him, to the conscious detachment and the invention of new narratives of disabled bodies.

Quasimodo serves here as the starting point for a multi-layered investigation: how do our deeply rooted, culturally moulded body images influence our perception of real bodies?
NoAnger's performance dissects the normative expectations of the body and tracesthe path of a (re)appropriation of one's own body: from the ambivalent identification with Quasimodo, the fear of embodying him, to the conscious detachment and the invention of new narratives of disabled bodies. Mirrors become a means of deconstruction - they break the voyeuristic gaze, fragment, distort and question the logic of the "monstrous". Language, movement and video collage scraps of memory, projections and resistance. «Quasimodo aux miroirs» is a choreographic study of the tension between external attribution and self-design - and of how a crip-bodymind can free itself from these attributions and reclaim its own narrative.
