Matthieu Hocquemiller excels in drawing portraits as sensitive as they are powerful, for which he engages performance artists on the path of their own autofiction. Throughout these meetings, a sharp and critical look focuses on social norms and singularities. DIALOGUE WITH SHAMS is the first content of a reflection, through three stories of the body, on the notion of undesirable. Here, the choreographer guides Iranian dancer Rana Gorgani in writing an imaginary dialogue with Shams, a wandering Persian mystic of the 13th century and a great figure of Sufism. The personal history of women intersects with political reflections on migratory journeys, gender relations and biculturality.
