From Tuesday 26 to Wednesday 27 January 2027 from 8 pm.
Full price: 30 €, Reduced price: 10 to 20 €.

Neither an essay nor a manifesto, this text is intended above all to be cathartic. In this literary act, Ovidie lays bare the reasons that led her to go on a heterosexual sex strike, lucidly deconstructing the constraints that still weigh heavily on the issue of desire.
With her deep, magnetic voice—at times accompanied by video projections—actress Anna Mouglalis brings the text to life. She reveals not only the text’s political dimension but also its humor and galvanizing power, transforming this intimate narrative into an invitation to reclaim one’s body and a passionate plea for gender equality.
