In the heart of a colonial plantation, living and dead creatures parade by and cross paths, guided by the mischievous and enigmatic voice of a child. Straight out of the carnivale-like imagination of the Caribbean, various figures face us while reciting poems and incantations. Rectum Crocodile is a magical tale, a political and danced fable that seeks to exorcise the ghosts of white supremacy in the 'New World'.Marvin M'Toumo is a fashion designer and director and here offers us a profound and feverish creation in which gestures mingle with words and the two merge into dance. The carefully designed costumes form the departing point for the piece, that sits at the intersection of several arts such as fashion, dance, performance, visual arts, theatre and poetry. Amidst a lush plantation, nature and people question slavery, colonialism and fetishization. The colonial dynamics that shape our ways of loving, sexuality and relationships come to the forefront. In this way, M’Toumo launches a catwalk full of friction, in which the intersecting bodies and voices radically reclaim their power. Rectum Crocodile is both a roar and a manifesto. Dazzling and bold in its grandeur, the play evokes the colonial past and calls it to account.
