F-Festival (F for *uck the Patriarchy)
by Maïmouna Coulibaly
Maïmouna Coulibaly's one-woman show, which was created in conjunction with her autobiographical book "Je me relève" (ed. Anne Carrière, 2021), combines dance, personal testimony and humor to create a hard-hitting stand-up comedy. The show addresses controversial topics such as rape, sexual assault, female masturbation, body positivity, female circumcision and motherhood. But like her "Booty Therapy" workshops, the performance serves as a form of release and catharsis, an opportunity to confront, understand and overcome trauma. The show can be a cure and a therapy; in any case, it is a place where we can cry, laugh and scream together. And no one leaves the performance unmoved.
Maïmouna Coulibaly is an artist, activist, writer, dancer, actress and director with roots in Mali and Grigny (France). In 1996, she developed the concept of "Booty Therapy", a therapeutic art form designed to help women and sexual minorities rediscover their femininity. In 2021, Maïmouna published her book "Je me relève", which was published by Anne Carrière. The newspaper Le Monde reports on her book: "Maïmouna Coulibaly tells the story of sexist violence from the perspective of a little girl, a teenager and then a young woman, in fragments of life marked by an explosive sense of humor and a consummate art of the punch line."
