Its title serving as a promise, Confession Publique explores ambiguity and paradox, probes the noble and the vulgar, oscillates between grace and brutality. Choreographer Mélanie Demers turns her trusted collaborator Angélique Willkieinto her muse. Together, these two kindred spirits explore the act of telling others about yourself without reserve. Performed by Willkie, the result is a hard-hitting solo show, where anecdotes become painful secrets and the body reveals as much as words, if not more. Confession Publique is a courageous laying bare of the self—a full unveiling—made possible through the trust emerging from the profound encounter of its makers.
