About the performance

BLANC’ unfolds in a stark white space where cups, oranges, nails, knives and even sweat become tools in a fierce experiment of the body. It draws you into the world of someone wrestling with fear, control and perfectionism. With humor and brave vulnerability, Sébastien Wojdan reveals just how thin the line is between control and surrender. A charged visual performance about the struggle to simply be human
