Rectum Crocodile

Marvin M'toumo

Pièce hybride, politique et romantique, entre défilé, poésie, danse et performance (2023).

Theatre

Avec Rectum Crocodile, Marvin M'toumo, sa marque de mode et sa compagnie Hibiscus Culturiste poursuivent ensemble le travail hybride, politique et romantique débuté avec Concours de larmes. Sur une île des Tropiques, panthère, mulâtresse, diablesse ou cocotier s'emboîtent le pas dans un cri de colère et d'amour. Au plateau, sept performeur·euses et bien plus de personnages encore brassent les questions d'identité, de stéréotype, de discrimination en plusieurs tableaux guidés par le son de la voix déterminée et maligne d'un enfant, pas si innocent. Inspiré des carnavals caribéens, corps, voix et costumes couture se font entendre et voir, comme une revanche éclatante. Conte décolonial, défilé spectacle ou poésie dansée, Rectum Crocodile interroge l'esclavagisme, le colonialisme et la masculinité blanche.

Bio

Marvin M'toumo is an artist and designer whose distinctive poetry transcends academic distinctions between art, theater, literature, and fashion, embracing a cross-disciplinary practice. A graduate of Villa Arson in Nice and the Fashion and Accessory Design section of the Geneva University of Art and Design (HEAD), he is one of the winners of the Hyères International Fashion and Photography Festival at Villa Noailles. He founded his own fashion label and performing arts company, through which he imagines, writes, directs, designs, performs, and creates the costumes for his first fashion show/performance, Concours de larmes, at the Théâtre de l'Usine in Geneva. In 2023, with his team, he produced his second fashion show/performance, Rectum Crocodile, a decolonial fable, presented at the ADC Pavilion in Geneva. He has since collaborated with the National Theater of Strasbourg and its students on a new fashion show/performance.
