Eloge du Poil (In Praise of Hairiness) - Compagnie Bal/Jeanne Mordoj (France)

In Eloge du Poil (In Praise of Hairiness) Jeanne Mordoj plays the bearded lady who scoffs at fashion. Hers is a beard that makes you sit up and take notice. She represents a femininity that is mysterious, strange and alluring. Her independence cannot be mastered, or put into a box. She can ask any question, say and do anything, because her conventions are from another time and place. In a fairground-carnival setting, sharing her freakshow stage with a badger, a mountain goat and other natural curiosities, she juggles egg yolks and bamboo and forces us to consider taboos that rarely come to the surface. Ventriloquist, contortionist and multitalented circus artist, this charismatic hirsute lady reveals truths about identity, perception, sex and finally death itself. Performed in French with English surtitles. 65 mins with no interval. Age guidance: 10+ London International Mime Festival (LIMF)
