Synopsis
This immersive exhibition plunges spectators into the southern United States when segregation was rife. We follow 15-year-old Claudette Colvin who, on 2 March 1955, refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Nine months later, Rosa Parks repeated this action and it is her name that History has retained.
Adapted from Tania de Montaigne's biographical essay, Noire (Black Woman) reviews the commonplace nature of ordinary racism. By using an original narrative technique, this experience questions spectators who have become players and highlights the universal nature of the content.
