Sophie Tellier - Dear Elusive Liane de Pougy
How to find one's place in a society entirely corseted by men? It is this women's fight, still relevant today, that Liane de Pougy (1869-1950), a dancer and courtesan who became one of the Queens of Paris, undertakes. By rising to the top of the hierarchy of the Grandes horizontales at a very young age, then by working for freedom of expression and sexual freedom, she traces a certain path of female emancipation. Having become Princess Ghika, will she finally achieve respectability? She dies Anne-Marie-Madeleine de la Pénitence, a "consecrated laywoman" in the Third Order of Saint Dominic.
In this piece, written for an actress/singer and a pianist/actor, Liane narrates her life in a lively, literal, humorous, moving and ultimately very contemporary way.
