Au restaurant

Recorded at the restaurant “Le Ribatejo” in Pantin 11 October 2006

Performance filmed in October 2006 at the “Ribatejo” restaurant, Pantin, during Robyn Orlin’s residency at the Centre national de la danse, 2004-2007.

Robyn Orlin is an independent artist who has worked in South Africa for twenty years. As an activist, she took part in the struggle against apartheid and continues to denounce all forms of discrimination, racial tensions and those affecting the different generations. Producer and stage designer, she created a mixed company (black and white, men and women of all ages), a mix that echoes the different artistic disciplines that form an integral part of her work. With irony and provocation, in her shows she deals with the difficulty the population of South Africa faces in formulating a distinct way of “being together”.
