Professional (De)formation
Solo documentary about the art of bending over backwards
About
Elodie Guézou invites us to live an intimate, aesthetic and political experience mixing contortion and theater. Her object of study? Her relationship to work and why and how she bent over backwards (literally and metaphorically).
Through fragments of life, she outlines her personal journey of professional deformation: the (non) choice of sector, her meeting with a professional circus artist, a voice message from her mother, her first contortion program, a number listing all the contortion performances she has undergone during her career... and finally the meeting with the specialist who diagnosed burnout.
A sensitive and offbeat sharing of experience to question our relationship to work.
