«Julia B. Laperrière n’hésite pas à brouiller les frontières entre les disciplines pour donner à voir un art qui confronte, questionne et émeut.

A bag around the neck is like a chain or a leash; put that bag on your head it becomes a veil; put yourself in the bag and you become for sale. How can merchandising of the woman’s body, opposed to its shameful covering, resonate to one another, and what are the questions that arise from this resonance ?Working with objects, symbols and nudity, the piece plays between hiding and revealing, presenting an ever evolving and morphing imagery. Reflecting upon the representation of female body on stage and in society, UnCOVERED woMAN aims to be a thought-provoking piece of visual poetry.
