Le Grand Défilé · Édith Amsellem / Festival Paris l'été

For the Paris l'été Festival, Édith Amsellem orchestrates a fashion show as a critical manifesto of the injunctions that shape women's bodies.

Transforming the fashion show into a collective and critical experience: this is Édith Amsellem's proposition. In the majestic Halle du Carreau du Temple, young women take their places on the catwalk to question, in full view, the injunctions that shape bodies. Here, clothing becomes language. It exposes, overflows, resists.

The audience follows a sensitive journey, from the spectacular exhibition on the catwalk to the more intimate space of confidences backstage. The prescribed roles begin to crumble, allowing unique, funny, serious, and vibrant stories to emerge. A participatory spectacle and a ritual of emancipation, Le Grand Défilé shifts perspectives and restores to femininity a joyful and untamed power.
