OUTRE-RAGE

SYNOPSIS

After exploring the transatlantic fractures of a journey marked by multiple crossings (from France to the United States, and then a return to Guadeloupe), Hubert Petit-Phar returns to the stage to expose the turmoil of a schizophrenic condition. Psychiatric studies reveal a high prevalence of psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia, in the Caribbean. Among the reasons cited by these studies are migratory paths—especially those of Black individuals—which often lead to economic hardship, cultural dislocation, and social isolation.

While grounding his work in this clinical dimension, Hubert Petit-Phar offers a choreographic and poetic perspective on the issue. The successive skins one wears to adapt to lands that are at once foreign and familiar unsettle notions of identity and inner coherence. Through repeated efforts to adapt, both body and psyche are transformed, and identity’s reference points are disrupted, reshuffled, redistributed. Being a Black man in a society struggling with its own racism, learning the codes of institutional and legitimized cultures, and then having to navigate an insular context where these codes no longer fully apply.
