Sandra Calderan and her partner Rébecca Chaillon speak about themselves — between fiction and reality — in this 1h45 performance. A country lesbian and a city lesbian try to build a home together, co-parent, and imagine the future of their body-to-body community, their own 'Gouineraie' (a play on Chekhov's Cherry Orchard).
With humour, tenderness and deliberate provocation, they explore the difficulty of settling as a lesbian couple in the countryside — one white, one Black — and of making a family. Their performing-lover personas deploy political and carnal fantasy in which the intimate becomes a terrain of struggle and collective joy. Runtime: 1h45.
