Lèche mon coeur is a staging of the text Ogres by Yann Verburgh. Central point of this creation, this text addresses the theme of homophobia in the world. It carries the forgotten voices of the oppressed, beyond their sexuality, their origins, their biography, across continents, from France to Russia, from Uganda to Iran – via Bulgaria, South Africa, Cameroon, Greece, Brazil, Romania, South Korea. Extremely well documented, this creation paints a violent picture of a discrimination that still excludes and kills today.

Lèche mon cœur is therefore a bloody poetic creation, where faces are invoked, voices tell us the truth, their urgency and their realities.
