She is mobile, she is mixed-race, so a little off. When she dances, it’s Asian, when she begins her sentences with I, it’s French. Her family story is a bit Durassian, a Japanese line, an enigmatic Franco-Vietnamese line that suggests to little Angélica this question: but why does my French father sing Vietnamese songs?
Fortunately there is the imagination, dance, theatre… In G Major meets Angelica Kiyomi Tisseyre-Sekiné when she plays at the Tran To Nga Theater: this former maquisard who sued 26 multinationals of the American agrochemical industry for having dumped Agent Orange on the lands of South Vietnam between 1961 and 1971. Our poisoned bodies (this is the title) or how the tragedy still circulates in the cells, the muscles and the mind. A text written and directed by Marine Bachelot Nguyen.
