PLAYS: PARADIS Le monde blanc modification – Roxette Chikua

Modifications to fit into society, to belong.

PARADIS Le monde blanc ‘modification’ is an installation performance in an Afro-futuristic atmosphere about a young woman’s search for her identity. In this search, Roxette balances between different cultures, those of her origin and the society she lives in. A choice arises: does she follow like a sheep the imposed path marked out for people of her background? Or will she struggle to differentiate herself from the stereotypes?  In PARADIS, Roxette chooses to become director of her own life and create her own Paradise.

If we live in someone else’s paradise, where is my paradise?
