SILENT BELLY (collective patriarchal detoxification ritual)
A gesticulated conference that talks about mental health and behavioral disorders
food and their links with trauma and systemic violence:

This is my story. 

The story of how, for 30 years, I've been struggling with food and my body. Anorexia, bulimia: 30 years of hurting myself. In silence.

In shame and guilt, too 

This is also the story of how – thanks to feminist struggles that unmask the mechanisms of patriarchal violence – I can now revisit my past and begin to understand, begin to unravel the reasons for my mental disorders, to no longer feel guilty, and to finally be able to speak. 

With the help of the latest research in medicine and neuroscience, in sociology, in history; but also with my ukulele and with lots of tenderness drawn in the corners, I come to tell you that any resemblance between elements of my journey and elements of yours is not pure coincidence: it is systemic.

Because this is not just my story.
