"There you are, in your Monoprix, your toilet rolls in your hands, it's an autumn day or maybe spring, and there's this guy in front of you shopping with his wife and daughter, on a day when outside it's gray like it always is in autumn or maybe spring, when the sky is crushing like the sky is always crushing in autumn or maybe spring, there you are, there's this guy in front of you and you're thinking to yourself: 'that's the guy who raped me'. "

Standing facing us, she stands straight, solid and alone. No snake stirs her hair and her beautiful eyes petrify no one, though.... An immortal and enchanting figure, Medusa is a rebellious victim drawing her strength from her intimate relationship with the monstrous. Her story staggers us, and her terrifying cry carries to our ears the silent lament of thousands of jellyfish caught in the slimy waves of the post-metoo wave.

Actor and actress in this singular and plural story, Mélie Néel embodies the metamorphoses of an ovidian, mythical and political jellyfish. Revealed at TAPS during Les Actuelles in 2023, this subtle, delicate text is a butterfly's wingbeat unleashing a tornado that stirs for a long time, hours, days, years, a lifetime.
