Attitude clando

Congolese playwright Dieudonné Niangouna's monologue focuses on the wanderings of a man who must constantly ask himself the question of borders, without understanding the desire for closure and isolation that pervades the Western world. But it's not an archetype that spells out the horror of permanent clandestinity, the fear of constant discovery: it's a free man who speaks, thinks and reacts. An individual marked by his past, with its scars, who challenges us in an original, inventive, subversive, chaotic language, a language of the street, of imagined speech. Between four white walls with barbed wire, which could symbolize a hospital or any other place of confinement, he recounts, questions and dreams, sometimes agitated, sad, in love, euphoric, seeking at all costs to find the man he was in the hunted beast he has become. Reality is broken, shattered, reconstructed in a succession of thoughts that surface in his mind as he travels through the past, takes forced or chosen journeys, and encounters that punctuate his great solitude. Refusing fear, refusing to be pigeonholed, categorized or categorized, he demands anonymity and the freedom to choose.
