ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
about
It seems like an opportune moment to discuss narcissism, this pervasive type of narcissism that inundates everything, inflating our perception of ourselves and prompting us to approach everything in grand style, even if we’ve forgotten the underlying reasons for our actions. “Je suis narcissiste” introduces us to Clotilde, who organises cultural events and navigates each day as if it were an obstacle course obstructing her happiness. The events overwhelm her, leaving her immersed in loneliness. Couples, pets, bosses, artists, or funeral home employees seem more interested in talking than listening. Given such a fecund cultural medium, it proves sufficient that the reaction is triggered -in the form of a dead cat- for her complete emotional collapse. Exhausted, she seeks solace in the office of a psychiatrist who embraces all kinds of theories as eccentric as himself. The two will embark on a transformative journey together, or perhaps not.
