In TA MAL OU, the body refuses to cooperate. What seems self-evident — speaking, moving, understanding — is thrown into disarray. Pain takes root where language falls short.
Theatre maker Louise Bergez draws on her own experience with chronic illness and brings it to the stage. As a child, she observed illness mainly through images from films and stories. Now she knows the body as a realm of waiting, repetition, and medical wanderings, from doctor to doctor, in search of an answer that never comes.
In close collaboration with director Laurens Aneca and musician Jasper Segers, a performance emerges that explores the limits of language. A chronically ill patient takes center stage: a deserter in a world that, at first glance, appears healthy and unbroken.
