Through their eyes

Choreography and performance: Lou Couton
Music: Seekind

“Through Their Eyes” is a solo performance that delves into the intricate journey of womanhood.
It examines how women’s representations in the media, and especially movies influence the way they learn to position and present their bodies from an early age.

But not only women are in the spotlight of the whole media blur – it is all of us that are consciously or unconsciously influenced in our everyday lives.
During the performance, Lou invites the audience to consider the complex interplay between one’s own identity and external influences.
The solo is an exploration of a universal experience that binds us all: how to find our own identity while influences come around every corner?
