“ Conte queer pour enfants – Théâtre et marionnettes
Quand j’étais petite, on m’a raconté beaucoup d’histoires.
Aujourd’hui, je me rends compte que je ne m’y retrouve pas, je n’y crois pas et pas seulement parce que je ne crois plus au Père Noël ou parce que je sais qu’on ne vit pas dans un monde magique avec des dragons. C’est juste que je ne crois pas au prince charmant, je ne crois pas que toutes les sorcières soient méchantes, surtout que ce sont toujours celles que j’ai trouvé les plus belles dans les dessins animés.
Aujourd’hui, j’ai 25 ans. Certain.e.s pensent sûrement que je suis déjà vieille et d’autres que je suis encore une gamine. Dans tous les cas, j’ai envie de vous raconter une histoire à ma manière, je veux créer le Disney que je n’ai pas eu la chance de voir enfant. Celui où la sorcière serait le personnage principal et où elle tomberait amoureuse des princesses.
Ce spectacle est comme un conte qu’on lit avant de s’endormir : il y a une forêt, des grenouilles et une histoire d’amour qui finit bien. ”

A personal remembrance of the late Mary, the filmmaker’s mother, and how she lived with her cancer. This film questions the notion of ‘battling’ an illness, and considers how violent, war-like language can unintentionally hold ill people accountable for their recovery.
Making use of charcoal sketches and oil painting, this film suggests that cancer is a unique journey and specific to every individual. Consequently, when any support is offered, the perspectives of those with cancer should be considered.
By including intimate footage showing the final days of Mary's life, 'Mary Lost her Battle' proposes that we shouldn't let our societal fear of death negatively influence our attitudes to end-of-life care.
