À partir des enregistrements cinématographiques qui documentent les danses de Valeska Gert, un travail d’interprétation est engagé tour à tour par Latifa Laâbissi, I-Fang Lin et Mathilde Monnier en collaboration avec Christophe Wavelet, afin d’en restituer les lignes d’intensité au gré de libres gestes d’appropriation.

Valeska Gert could be considered one of Germany’s most ambiguous and overlooked artists. She was a dancer, actress, film and cabaret star. She was a pioneering performance artist who is said to have laid the foundations and paved the way for the punk movement.
Gert was born as Gertrud Valesca Samosch in Berlin to a Jewish family. She was the eldest daughter of manufacturer Theodor Samosch and Augusta Rosenthal. Exhibiting no interest in academics or office work, she began taking dance lessons at the age of nine. This, combined with her love of ornate fashion, led her to a career in dance and performance art. In 1915, she studied acting with Maria Moissi.
